Body of Christ: part 9

Invisible Support,

Let me throw out another idea for you to wrap your mind around. If wholeness is found through Jesus, and we are the body of Christ, then naturally one of the ways we experience Christ and his wholeness is through each other. Someone else is strong where you are weak, and they can be that support for you, just as you are strong where someone else is weak, and you can be that support for them. That can never happen if we are only concerned with our own wants, needs, and desires. The irony is such selfish people are robbing themselves of a level of fulfillment they could only dream of.

Non-believers won’t read the Bible, but they do read Christians. We are the only Christ they will ever experience. if we truly reflect and emulate his holiness and character as a group, as well as individuals; it may inspire them to look closer. Rather than turn them off with our constant internal struggles keeping us focused on ourselves.
