The Body of Christ

This verse is from the chapter in Corinthians where Paul reminds the church that each member has been given a spiritual gift that reflects Christ to the world and that each contribution is valuable. Some spiritual gifts are quiet and whisper Christ’s love to hearts in the darkness. Some gifts are bold and declare Christ’s love from the pulpit. Some gifts help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and some raise our hearts to worship from the front and center. Some gifts still elude, while others are glaringly apparent. Yet all spiritual gift bearers are a part of the body of Christ, equally necessary and fully loved by the heart of our Savior. When we reflect that unity to the world, the world will be changed; we will be changed.
