They have found a previously undiscovered royal tomb in Egypt. It is from the
era of the famed King Tut. The inscription says that the tomb was created for
The Woman Who Nourished the Body of God. Since Egyptian kings regarded
themselves as deities, it is likely that this was a wet nurse who fed the baby
king. But the phrase is striking. Change one word and you have a description of
many women who have served God across the years. For Paul calls the church
"the body of Christ." So we might call such a person: The Woman Who
Nourished the Body of Christ.
