verse 27, the cross that the followers of Jesus bear is the prayer that connects with the spirit of God. Prayer enables people to continue with faith in Jesus. Our earthy bodies are composed of elements that age and eventually die crumbling into dust. Our physical bodies contain our thoughts, our life energy, that is our life being. But this life being dies with the mortal body as there is no longer a vessel to contain it. This life being, symbolically wine, will be put in a new vessel that will never perish. The mortal body will be given an immortal body. Through prayer and connection with Jesus this fragile, expendable life energy becomes powerful spiritual energy sustained by God. Gods will and plan for man to have eternal life in love, peace and joy is a spiritual energy that is the power of the Holy Spirit. When we pray opening our mind to the divine guidance, including baptism, of Jesus then we are granted the Divine life from God which is the source of all life. Jesus died on the cross, causing it to become symbolically our tree of eternal life. Man must bear his cross realizing there is no life after the death of the body except with the resurrection of Jesus. Sharing this knowledge is building the church. Harmony in this thought and prayer builds goodwill with others and a solid foundation of love for all mankind to receive the grace of God. "According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation. " - 1 Corinthians 3.10
