Paul talked about the body again. What if your foot said, “I'm not a hand, so I'm not part of the body”? Silly!
What if the whole body were just one big eye? How would it hear or smell?
God put every part where He wanted it. In church, every person matters, especially the ones who seem less important. When one part hurts, everyone hurts. When one part is happy, everyone celebrates!
