Muscle spasms

When Jesus walked the earth, he used his body to show love to others. His hands healed, his mouth told of God's plan, and his feet brought him to those who needed love. After Jesus had died, Paul said that we are body parts, such as hands, feat, eyes, and ears, making up the body of Christ.1

A hand that is cut off from a body is worthless. It just dies. But even if a hand is connected to the body, it can only be productive if it is connected to the nervous system. If it's not listening to the nervous system, it will just spasm pointlessly, or be paralyzed.

Jesus once compared himself to a vine, saying that we are like branches on that vine.2 In the same way, he is like the nervous system, and we are the body parts who should act according to direction from the nervous system. So we need to ask ourselves, are we connected, or are we just a muscle spasms?
