So it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of his one body, and each of us has different work to do. And since we are all one body in Christ, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others.
Have you ever wondered what the purpose of fighting with one another might be? The irony of quarreling and bickering amongst each other is that with some patience, love and understanding, fighting can essentially be avoided. The Bible draws a picture of what a healthy church looks like by describing a healthy human body where every body part is part of a symbiotic relationship and each part performs it's tasks without straining other body parts. When all the body parts and systems are working together perfectly, the human body becomes capable of amazing physical and mental achievements. If people could live by this premise, the world would certainly be a very different place. I read a quote that said, "There are three kinds of people: those who watch things happen, those who make things happen, and those who have no idea what happens." As citizens of the human race, we need to focus upon making good things happen for each other by exhibiting some patience, love and understanding with each other because, according to the Bible, we need each other.
