“Now you are the body
of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”
I Corinthians 12:27
Several years ago one
of our overhead garage door springs broke.
I was in a hurry one
morning and as I went to close the door manually I paid no attention to where
my right hand was on the door and began lowering the door.
Well my middle finger
was in one of the door panel cracks and as it came down that crack closed on my
finger and broke the tip.
Yes it hurt!
But the reality of
how much that unassuming right middle little fingertip did for me in the course
of a day hit home.
It was a ‘tiny member’
but everything I did seemed to be impacted by it.
At least that’s what
the pain screamed to me every time I tried to us it.
Eventually it healed
but the lesson learned for me in the process is that every part of the Body of
Christ is essential and one part is not functioning as it should, we all
suffer.
If you are a believer
you cannot, you must not go through your journey with Christ alone.
No just for the
results it can have in your life but also for the impact it will have on the
Body of Christ.
We need you.
As part of the local
church at His Place I would encourage you that we need you to
grow with us. Without that commitment on your part, to us, we will not make the
impact for the Kingdom we are called to.
That’s a pretty
strong statement but it is true.
We need you!
The same applies to
anyone reading this who may not call His
Place your home church.
Whatever local body
of believers you call home needs your commitment to them in order to impact the
world for Christ.
God never called you
to do it alone.
He called us to reach
the world.
The Great Commission
commissioned a people, not just a person!
