The Body

The body is not one member, but many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.



And if the ear should say, "If I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.



If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?



But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.



And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now there are many members, but one body. (1 Cor. 12: 14-20)



What part of the body are you?

Do you know?

If you don't know, It doesn't matter-

you are still a part of the body.

As you yeild to the Spirit of God-

He will flow through you and use you and make it clear in His time.



There is one part of the body that has been glorified by man.

That member is the mouth.

The mouth has been elevated by man above the other members.

An honest preacher will admit that- usually on a Monday morning.

A body with only a mouth- and nothing else is a body that is not fully functioning. We are all members. Even when we are weak, struggling and yes even failing, we are still useful members of the body.

We all have gifts! Let's use them!
