1 Corinthians Chapter 12 verse 27 in the Good News Bible reads as follows:
All of you are Christ’s body,
and each one is a part of it.
This is such an amazing statement, as we realize who we are and what we are called to do.
Monday evening as I joined in a board meeting we prayed for God to show us how to move forward in our ministry. As I sat in the room, I realized that everyone of us and everyone of our congregation, are a part of the body of Christ. We all offer different aspects to the ministry such as delivering music, prayer, the sermons, technology expertise, greeting at the door, bookkeeper, etc. and it takes each one of us to keep it all going. As COVID-19 has kept us apart in assembly, it has not stopped the ministry moving forward. We still continue to deliver sermons, share in communion, the Bible study, Something to Think About, Peter’s Pics, all offered on our web site. We speak to each other by phone, email or text, as we stay in touch with one another. Now we certainly miss each other, however, if everyone continues to do their part, the love of God can and will be multiplied and nothing will stop the effects it will produce, especially during COVID-19 when everyone needs a special touch from our Heavenly Father. We are all called, everyone of us, to glorify God and we can do that because we all have been blessed with unique personalities, wonderful gifts and talents, and ways to reach everyone as technology is a wonderful tool to reach the masses. As we realize we are the body of Christ, a people working together, let us every day remind ourselves of the great work we can do, to bring heaven to earth, as we share the beautiful gospel and love of Christ.
Go out today and be Christ, doing your part, as God shows you how to offer Him, through you!!
Remember, you are His representative in the body of Christ.
Have a very blessed day.
