S. 1 Corinthians 12:12 “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.”
O. The note in the margin of my Bible summarizes this verse quite well - “The believers in Corinth and elsewhere in the ancient world came from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. But in Christ, there is no ethnic, cultural or social distinction."
A. I will continue to affirm and celebrate the unity and the oneness of being members together in the Body of Christ.
Our identity in Christ is not so much connected with our ethnic our cultural roots; rather, it is connected through the deployment of our God given gifts for Kingdom purposes.
P. Thank you Father for your word today. Thank you for saving me, gifting me and calling me to serve as a member of the Church - The Body of Christ. I pray that through the deployment of my gifts and calling, there will be much eternal Kingdom fruit -
