Scripture
Colossians 3:12-15
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Observation
body: the church is said to be like a (human) body, emphasizing its essential unity with very important diversities of function within the unity
Application
Did you ever make snow angels? All your parts have to work together going back and forth to make the angel shape. Can you imagine if your foot got mad at your head and decided it wanted to be the head of the angel. Or how about your arm decided it wanted to be a leg part? It wouldn’t work! Your body has to work in unison just like the body of Christ. We have to use compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience to work together. God gave us all the tools we need. We just have to put them to use and make a perfect angel.
Prayer
Lord, thank you for give us all the tools I need to work together as a team. Help me to learn how to use them so I can be a productive member of your body. ~Amen
