Ecclesiological Etchings

Scripture:  1st Corinthians 12:27
All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.

Thought for the Day:  One of my favorite songs that we sing in the contemporary worship service is “If We are the Body”.  The chorus goes like this:

But if we are the body
Why aren’t His arms reaching?
Why aren’t His hands healing?
Why aren’t His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren’t His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way

This is definitely a call to action.  If each of us is a part of Christ’s body, as Paul’s says, are we reaching, healing, teaching and moving to show others the way of Jesus?  We may think our kind word to a frustrated cashier at the grocery store means nothing, but she noticed.  All of the collective little things add up throughout the days of the week.

Prayer:  Dear Lord, help me to be continually striving to be your hands and feet to share the good news of your Son.  I know some days I miss the mark, but I know through your Grace, I will be given another chance tomorrow.  In Jesus name, Amen.
