I was reading Romans 12 yesterday and reflecting on the words bolded below. I read them to our missionary team last night as we had our monthly team meeting. Normally we are challenged by Romans 12:2, but it was v 5 that stood out to me yesterday.
…4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others…
We ‘belong’ to each other.
That’s both a beautiful concept because it binds us together yet also a challenging one!sydney aka hard eight download free
And one we just don’t get!
Amen. This is something we need to keep reminding each other. I like the word “belong”, it indicates attachment and ownership. I guess that mean I have to really care about those around me. Why, because we belong to each other.
Lord…help me to do this.
thanks Hamo. I really needed to hear this.
well since I own you, you have a responsibility to have my best interests at heart and not yours.
same goes for me….
challenging concept
