I Corinthians 12:18-20
"But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body."
John 17:23
"May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
Over the past few weeks, I have had the privilege of working closely with my church family to present the death and resurrection of Christ to our community through an Easter play. How beautiful it has been to watch each participant faithfully use the talent God has given them to bring this whole production together. So many people and skills were needed in order for this to be successful. We had artists, musicians, lighting and sound technicians, cleaning crews, prayer warriors, people who invited friends and family, childcare workers, food preparers and servers, the cast who portrayed the message wonderfully and many, many others. All these "parts" of the "body" came together to "let the world know that you (God) sent me (Jesus) and have loved them even as you (God) have loved me (Jesus)." As a result, 75 people (that we know of), either accepted Christ as their Savior or came and talked with the altar workers after the performances. That's what it's all about!
Thank You God for such a great church family!
