Body Thoughts



A little quiz about your body!

Which is more important: eye, ear, arm or Adam’s apple?

Truth is all of them are pretty important! Sometimes people get the arrogant notion that they are superior to others, or that everyone should be like them. God designed diversity for a reason, and it should be celebrated and used for his glory.

If we are followers of Christ, then we have been placed in the church to become his body, a body of diversity and unity, a body of love and support, no matter what happens.

1 Corinthians 12:25-27 (The Message)

The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don’t, the parts we see and the parts we don’t. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance. You are Christ’s body—that’s who you are! You must never forget this.

Remember!

Everyone is important, no need for feelings of superiority or inferiority.
