Imagine getting up for a glass of water in the middle of the night and stubbing your toe. Instead of your brain reacting with the usual “Ouch!” your first thought is, “I’m glad that wasn’t a body part I need!” Ridiculous. How many times, however, do we react this way to the struggles of others in our congregation? This passage points out quite clearly that each part of the body is important and necessary. If we truly believe that we need every member of the body, just as we need all our physical body parts, we will suffer when the other parts suffer.
