Everyone Has a Ministry
Day 335
The Bible often compares the church to the human body with many members
and many parts. Each part is needed for the body to function properly.
In the church there are many members, and each one has something
important to give.
"From him [Jesus] the whole body, joined and held together by every
supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does
its work" (Ephesians 4:16).
The church is called the body of Christ. There is a definite,
life-giving connection between everyone in the church body. Life flows from one
person to another and back again.
"Somebody who has experienced the comfort of God knows that he or she
has something to pour," says Dr. Larry Crabb. "I love the word pour.
It's a metaphor that doesn't feel clinical; it feels alive. There's
something within the person who has been comforted that can actually pour
into the other and bathe his or her soul."
Lord Jesus Christ, I am part of Your body. Help me pour Your comfort
into another person who needs it. Amen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
