The Body of Christ (the church) is special. There is not another group of people on the earth like His body. Jesus is coming back for His bride, the Body. He wants you to be a part of that.
Let me share a great scripture with you.
Just as the human body is one, though it has many parts that together form one body, so too is Christ. For by one spirit we were all immersed and mingled into one single body.
And no matter our status, whether we are Jews or non-Jews, oppressed or free, we are all privileged to drink deeply of the same Holy Spirit.
In fact, the human body is not one single part but rather many parts mingled into one.
Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
So if the foot were to say. “Since I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it’s forgetting that it is still a vital part of the body.
And if the ear would say, “Since I’m not an eye, I’m not really part of the body.” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be?
If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.” – I Corinthians 12:12-18 (NIV)
This verse is powerful because it tells us that all of us belong to one body. We all belong together and need each other.
The physical body is not made of up of one part. It tells you and me that if one part of you hurts all of the body hurts.
See, you are that special to God and to the Body of Christ. You are needed there and when you are not there, we all suffer. We feel the loss of your presence, love and gifts.
You are needed in whatever role or giftings you have. You are needed in His Body.
He placed you in the Body for a reason. Come back to His loving Body and be your part. If you are not there the Body is lacking.
