Body Members

As you may read of the passage of scripture that speaks of the body of Christ having many members. 1 Cor.6:15, 1 Cor.12:12, Eph. 5:30 are some scriptures that you may want to read about this subject.

When one thinks of the body as a working unit I think many think on the head, such as eyes, ears, mouth, also the hands, and the feet.

Let’s see what other parts we can learn a little about today. I want to talk about this for a bit.

Now we are going to talk of parts that are some of the main parts yet not really mention very much. I know this may seem kind a strange to talk about but I am doing this to make a point

The shoulders of the body is not really noticed very much yet it is a vital part of the functioning body without the shoulders no arms would move and the hands would be helpless of course you have heard the saying, large or broad shoulders to carry a lot.

The back is something not very many think about in the spirit and what would the back represent in the body of Christ? Well start with the saying, having a back bone, meaning able to work and able to be bold as well. Without a strong back the rest of the body does not function well.

I also look at the shoulders and the back as being the main support of the body. It is a must to have support. Without the support then what good would the rest be to anyone?

We could carry on here but I think most of you are getting the message. That it takes the complete body to be a working functioning unit.

The body or the church has many members and all are important and with out it all working together then there will be a hindrance.

We all have a vital part in the working unit of the church or body of Christ and each one is as important as the other and no one part works some not at all without the rest of the body. I f you think one part is more important the answer is no. It takes us all working in order for the church to move together.

So what if the part you have is not noticed or paid much attention too as far as the outward apperance. Just let that part stop functioning and just see what happens to the rest of the body.

Each part of this natural body has been made in the image of God and each part of the spiritual body has been designed by God. What a wonderful thought to know we are His creation and He has created each part to work well together. Most importantly It is going to take having the heart centered towards the God in order to be used in the body.

Know that the spirit of the Lord causes us to move and have our being. Read Acts 17:28 talks of this.

Praise God for being a part of the body of Christ and do the work that God has given you to do just because He loves you and you love Him.

Let us focus on the Lord and doing His work let us focus on the salvation of the lost sols and the healing Focus on finding out what part you are and how God can use you in His body.
