Playing Your Part

Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.

Belonging to God makes you part of Christ’s body, the church. The next step is figuring out what part of the body you are: A hand that moves? A foot that steps? An ear that listens? A mouth that speaks? If each of God’s children understands his or her part and does it faithfully, the body functions as God intended. When you know what kinds of things you do well, you’ll find where you can best serve God and others and gain a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Will you play your part?
