1 Corinthians 12
Every time I read this passage I think of a song we teach kindergartners. It's called "Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes", perhaps you've heard of it. It gives the kiddos a sensory break, gets them to move around a bit, and teaches them that all parts make up one complete whole. Just for fun I teach it first in English then in Spanish because it doesn't matter what language you speak, the concept of all parts make up one whole is the same. The same is true in the body of Christ. Each piece is part of whole. Each one of us is equally important in making up a complete and unified body. Each gift is given to us by the same God with the purpose of bringing Him glory and none are complete without the other. It is important to remember there is no other reason for the gift God has given each of us other than to work together as a united body in Christ with the sole purpose of bringing God glory. Brothers and sisters, if we miss this point, we've missed the fullness of being part of the body of Christ. We are complete and one when we use our gifts and talents to be effective for the Kingdom and bring glory to God.
