Experiencing God #47
Paul wrote the Corinthian church, a local body of believers, and said: "You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it" (1 Cor. 12:27). Just as your physical body needs every part in order to live a normal and healthy life, so the church needs every member in order to live a normal and healthy church life. No member can say of any other member, I don't need you. Apart from the other members of the church (the body) you will not be able to experience the fullness of life God has intended for you. When one member is missing or not functioning as God intended, the rest of the body will miss out on the fullness of life God has intended for the church.
