Every individual Christian is a very necessary part of Christ’s body. 1 Corinthians 12: 12-31.

Pause for thought

As you sent me into the world , I am sending them into the world. John 17:18

“He has no hands but our hands To do His work today; He has no feet but our feet To lead men in His way: He has no voice but our voice To tell men how He died; He has no help but our help To lead them to His side.” Annie Johnson Flint 1866-1933.

Like our human bodies, How strange the body of Christ would be if it had only one part. Every Christian is only one part of Christ’s body, however we became fellow member of the body of Christ the moment we believed in Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins and made Him Lord of our lives. Nothing in this life can change your position as a member of Christ’s body. 12: 12-13. Every Christian is a member but not every Christian is active in the body of Christ.Your spiritual gift can help your church grow. 12:21.

The gifts of the Spirit which are many and varied are each distributed by the will of the Holy Spirit and often vary according to the one ministering the gift. As an example not every teacher teaches in the same way, In His wisdom God allows His children to be taught in many varied ways but it is the same Spirit that gives wisdom to the teacher and revelation to the listener. 12:29-31.

William Barclay writes “ The person who cannot see beyond his own organisation , the person who can’t see beyond his own congregation, or worse still, the person who can’t see beyond his own family circle and connections , has not even begun to grasp the real unity of the church.

We need each other there must be no such thing as isolation in the church. If any one part of the body is affected all the others will feel it , we suffer in sympathy because we can’t help doing so. 12: 26, Romans 12:15, Mathew 11:33-35,

memory verse

For in fact the body is not one member but many. 1 Corinthians 12:14 N.K.J.
