Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What part of the Body are you? What's your function? What's your purpose? How are you blessing others in the Body of Christ? Who is someone in Jesus' Body who serves others but also needs your encouragement and praise? Who are people who feel neglected and lonely in Jesus' Body who need your love shown to them? Remember, the human body looks after its parts and members because each is vital to properly functioning. The same is true with Jesus' Body. That means you are essential to your congregation. It also means you are crucial for Jesus' church to function as the Lord's bodily presence in our broken world that desperately needs his love!
Video Commentary...
We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:
My Prayer...
Father, thank you for making me a part of something so precious, so incredible, as the bodily presence of the Lord Jesus. Please help every person in our church family find their gifts and use them to touch others with your grace, build up Jesus' Body, and bring you glory. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
