Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Youre Necessary
January 18, 2013
The story has been told about a conductor who was rehearsing his orchestra. The organ was giving a beautiful melody, the drums were thundering, the trumpets were blaring, and the violins were singing beautifully. But the conductor noticed something missingthe piccolo. The piccolo player had gotten distracted and hoped his instrument wouldnt be missed. The conductor reminded him: Each one of us is necessary.
This was essentially the same message Paul communicated to the Corinthian believers in his first letter to them (12:4-7). Every Christian plays an important role in the body of Christ. Paul gave a list of gifts of the Spirit and compared their use to the functioning of the various parts of the human body for the good of the whole (vv.8-10). The Corinthian believers may have had different cultural backgrounds, gifts, and personalities, but they were filled with the same Spirit and belonged to the same body of Christ. Paul made special mention of the parts of the body that were weak and obscure, and taught that all believers play a necessary and significant role. No one part was more necessary than any other.
Remember, Jesus has given you a significant part to play and will use you to build up His people.
The church, a living body, containing all the parts
It lives, it moves, it functions, and touches many hearts;
When each part is committed to do the Saviors will,
His members are united, His purpose they fulfill. Fitzhugh
As a member of the body of Christ,
you are a necessary part of the whole.
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:14-26

Marriage is like a deck of cards.
In the beginning all you need is two Hearts and a Diamond.
By the end you wish you had a Club and a Spade.
