Summary
The sermon emphasizes that the church is called the Body of Christ because, like Jesus, it must live by doing the will of the Father. Jesus's life was defined by obeying the Father's will, even when it meant denying his own desires. The key to following Christ is crucifying our own will—the internal self-will—so that we can consistently choose to please God rather than ourselves in all aspects of life.
