What does it mean to be a good steward of the marvelous bodies God gives us?

It all starts with believing our bodies matter, and matter greatly to God. That’s an interesting idea. What evidence do we have in scripture that it’s true?

Let’s start with Jesus. We just celebrated a holiday (Christmas) that celebrates the incarnation. The incarnation says God became flesh and dwelt among us.

The very fact that God not only created our bodies, but chose to inhabit one says God cares about what happens in these bodies of ours. Notice, too, that Jesus devotes a considerable part of his ministry to touching, healing, feeding, and even resurrecting human bodies. Why would he do that if bodies didn’t matter?

And notice that Jesus took time to rest and pray, and invited his disciples to do the same. When God rests on the seventh day of creation, and Jesus takes time to rest, doesn’t that say something about caring for our bodies? The Apostle Paul picks up on the theme of bodies, big time!
