A Healthy Body

What I hear Paul saying in our reading for today (1 Corinthians 12:14-26) is that each part of the body is critical and important for the body to be healthy. I so appreciate just the simplicity of comparing the church to the human body. Because in the human body the same thing is true - all parts of the body must be healthy in order for the body to be healthy and to function optimally. And so the human body and the church are the same in that way.

The question I have to ask myself is what is my role in the body of the church and how can I go about being that "body part" in a healthy way so that it contributes to the overall health of the church?

What are you getting from God's Word?
