Body of Christ (David Gore - 1 Cor 12:12-31)

If you take a moment to consider your own body, it is amazing how many different organs, muscles, arteries, bone-shapes etc are involved in making up this most wonderful thing from which we live. The body of Christ is no less diverse or complex… or wonderful! No two ‘members’ are identical. Each has a unique part to play and each brings their perfectly suited contribution. We need all the contributions if we are to enter the fullness of life that is on offer to us. That means we need both to be ready to make our contribution, and also ready to accept/receive the contributions that others make. In this, a mystery occurs in our midst… Christ himself is made manifest and lives in us and through us.
