Paul wrote about God’s plan for the body of Christ. What personalities with what spiritual gifts and talents take on certain roles? Where do you function in the body of your church? Have your roles changed over time? When one person is no longer able to perform a job, God often answers faithfully with someone He has prepared “in the wings.” How gracious are we when a “new” worker does something differently in the church? God’s purpose is for no division—a smooth functioning body of parts—with compassion toward one another! Which statement in this passage is most convicting for you?
