This crazy political time of diversity, dissimilarity, difference, and distinction accentuates the need for us to be have unity even in our diversity. Paul speaks to this in 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 to giving us four actions in maximizing the diversity of Christ’s Body, the church; Appreciate Unity in Diversity – Be Unifying in Christ (vs.12-14), Be Cautious of Envy in Dissimilarity – Be Inclusive in Christ (vs.15-16), Seek God’s Purpose in the Difference – Be Affirming in Christ (vs.17-20), Work to Maximize the Distinctions – Be Interdependent in Christ (vs.21-23).
