Body Parts

I Corinthians 12:21-22


The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.

This whole passage, verses 12 to 30, is about how every body is made up of different parts, as is the body of Christ, which is us. So each church, each congregation, needs to have a diverse mix of Christians who have different gifts, different personalities, different backgrounds, races and nationalities, all having the same worldview, basic beliefs (faith) and love for one another. So every assembly is responsible to welcome every Christian who has the same faith, outlook and love for others, regardless of their race, nationality, background, gifts or personality. 

Dear Father, please work in Your church, teach us to love with Your love; and You will receive all the glory for all You are doing in Your church and in the world.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
