We are the Body

From today's reading: "For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 We, in the church, need to remember that we are all one body. We need to remember that as part of the body, we are not designed do everything, but we do have our function that is essential to the body of Christ so that he might be made manifest in the world.

From the song, "If We are the Body" by Mark Hall: If we are the body, why aren't his arms reaching, why aren't his hands healing, why aren't his words teaching? If we are the body, why aren't his feet going, why is his love not showing them there is a way."
