Time Spent: 20 mins
Main Idea: One Body, Many Members
What I learned about God: God formed us perfectly into the body of Christ
Summary: In this passage, Paul explains to us the importance of each other. He explains that we are all one body of Christ but if we go on and tell each other that because I am not this, I am not part of the body. Whenever we feel that we are not part of this body, or that we are insignificant in the body, God shows us that each and every one of us was made for a designed purpose. We are all part of the big picture but we can only go into this picture with all of our body parts collectively as one.
Application: In my missions team, we are filled with strong characters that would normally clash within a battle environment, but surprisingly, we mesh completely as one team. As I am meshed into this giant mission team, I have found that finding my individual role is a hard thing in that since we have such a big group filled with lots of role players I don't know where I fit into the mesh. With such a big team filled with superstars and role players, I don't know where I would come into the picture. It seems that taking the back seat as a bench warmer can even be a role that I must be but the intention of being a bench warmer might be a good one. Maybe God has placed me there on this team is that in case of an emergency, that I might be able to come in and step up to the plate when I am needed. Unsure of my specific role, it seems that God is telling me that I am part of this team and He reassures me in Scripture that everyone is important in their respective roles.
