1 Corinthians 27
[27] Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
A body is a crazy machine.
If man makes an automaton it has several intricate parts to make it functional, and even then it can generally do one thing, maybe two.
The human body is far more complicated then anything any of us could make. Now think of each of us as we are. Break down I’m your mind the human system, not just the foot bone connects to the ankle bone song, think about the cells, the enzymes, the tubes, the oragns, the electric currents. All of it needs to function together, with some parts, if something isn’t doing its job or can’t, other parts step up and take the load.
That’s the body of Christ. We each have a specific job. We are individually important for the whole system to work. And in some cases, when one of us falls down, others step up to help us carry the load. No part of us is useless. All of us is valued. We can serve God and go forward in faith. Each of us in our own way. Our pathway might look very different from those around us, but that is our function. God made us who we are and able to do what we can do for a reason. We are the body of Christ.
