One Body

“One Body”

1 Corinthians 12:19-20, 27
If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

We all have our place in the body of Jesus Christ. It doesn’t make any difference who you are, what color you are, or how much money you have or don’t have or what your name is, we “all” have our place in the body of Christ. Everyone is the same at the foot of the Cross. There are no little I’s or big you’s. There are no nobodies. Our whole physical body needs our big toes and our little toes. Things are the same in the body of Christ. I read a little article by Charles Swindoll the other day and let me quote, he said, “Nobodies. What a necessary band of men and women…servants of the King…yet nameless in the kingdom! Men and women who, with silent heroism and faithful diligence, relinquish the limelight and live in the shade of public figures.” To this I say, AMEN and AMEN again and again. Praise God we are a part of the body of Christ. Just think of all the “nobodies” in His body. They make the Kingdom run. To all of you who think you are a “nobody” in His kingdom-----think again!!!!!

Say: Most Holy Precious Jesus, with thanksgiving, I come to You, I am willing to follow Your plan for my life. I am willing to do what You would have me to do, great or small. Keep me humble and full of love and compassion for others. Show me my place in Your Kingdom Work. Amen
