Saints Peter And Paul Sermons

In 1 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul uses the human body as an image of what the church of God ought to look like. He calls all baptized Christians the "One body of Christ." Consider your own body. You do not know all of the parts of your body. There are so many parts of your body that you have never seen, you don't know what they're called, or even what they do. And, that's your own body. You ARE your body, and you don't really know all that much about yourself. Yet, all of those little body parts are necessary for your body to function. The lesser known ones are not less important. And the well known ones are not more important. So, it is in the body of Christ. We all need one another. We all have value. We all have purpose. Not because we create that for ourselves, but because God gives it to us. Let us take good care of the body, we have nowhere else to live.
