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.
