7 ARROWS : 1 Corinthians 12:12-31


Paul emphasizes unity in the body.

This idea of every person/part being important to making up the whole was far different than the hierarchy of Roman and Jewish religions of the day.

God orchestrated details according to his own good pleasure. God knows best what the body needs.

In our own pride or insecurity we elevate or demean spiritual gifts according to what we deem important. God sees a bigger picture than that short sightedness.

Enjoy being who God made you to be for his purposes; no more, no less.

This section is great conversation. All parts of the body are important because God arranged them.

Father, thank you for being all wise and building your church just as you please.
