all of me

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

- Romans 12:4-5 (NIV)

 

When you were in grade school, I’m sure you learned about parts of the body and why each are important.

The brain runs all the body’s systems, the blood circulates oxygen, the stomach processes food for energy, the kidneys filter bad stuff from your blood.

The list goes on as you can imagine until all parts have been acknowledged.

The heart could never control how we take our every breath, the kidneys could not provide energy, all the parts together form one body - our body that we are given to get us through life. 

We can function without some of our organs and body parts by adapting but it isn’t the same.

Just like we all have a body with many parts, we are part of a larger body, a body of Christ followers.

We each play a role in living as Christ taught and just like the brain supports the functions of the human body, our spiritual body is supported by one another.

OHHHHHHH Song reference: If We Are The Body performed by Casting Crowns – here is the chorus:

… But if we are the body

Why aren't his arms reaching?

Why aren't his hands healing?

Why aren't his words teaching?

… And if we are the body

Why aren't his feet going?

Why is his love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price

For us to pick and choose who should come

And we are the body of Christ

Food for thought?

Let’s support one another.
