Being the Church 1, The Body
Teaching on the Church as the Body in 1 Corinthians 12:12-26, the Apostle Paul reminds us that we are all in this (church, life, crisis, celebrations, whatever) together. Diversity in the body is to be celebrated, it is essential for a healthy functioning body, not something to be overcome to achieve unity. Since diversity is essential to the healthy functioning of the body, differences should not just be tolerated, but members of the body should help to care for one another. May we find such compassionate synergy where we share one another’s joys and sorrows.
