Romans 12:5
5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
One of the members of Hope Church works in the miracle-producing world of transplants. They take the eyes of donors and are able to give healthy eyes and sight to those in need. Apart from being amazing, this helps us correct an awful problem in the Church. Are you part of the body or are you “doing Christianity” on your own?
This verse, like the service yesterday, teaches us about our role in the church, also called the body of Christ. You are a part of that body, like an eye or a foot. You have a use, but it’s only a use that really works in conjunction with the rest of the body. Eyes have incredible value, but only in a body as a means of sight; if they don’t get plugged in, they die. Have you connected to the body?
Prayer prompt: Lord, help me overcome excuses, past hurts, and fear so I can be used in Your body for Your glory.
