The Church...Perfect?

The church is considered, and compared to a body. It is a group of people comprised and composed of many, from differing and varying backgrounds and cultures. Though all this is true, it has a common and underlying theme. We belong to Christ and come under His leadership and authority. The church is made up of imperfect people who constitute a community of those who are pursuing the perfection in and of Christ. Only in Him, and through Him do we even entertain being holy.
