Let us meditate a little on the various members of the body of Christ and their functions as described in 1 Corinthians 12. In that part, we read about the three organs, leg, arm, ear, and eye, and their various functions, and that each of them had a need for the other. In the 28th verse of Pimmata, which reads like that, the apostle says, "And God called some first in the church He appointed some as apostles, some as prophets, some as teachers, some as workers of miracles, some as healers, some as doers of good deeds, some as rulers, and some as speakers of various languages. All these are various blessings given by God to the primitive society. These bounties Special organs in the body. In Ephesians 4:13 we read about the gifts given by the ascended Christ to men - "He appointed some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some shepherds and teachers". There are bounties. These special blessings or important organs of the body are more openly visible. The Body of Christ is dedicated to the growth of health. The nature and functions of these gifts will be discussed in detail in the chapter "Ministry of the Church" 1 Cor. 12 Be careful to emphasize the priority and needs of the less important members. is doing No part of the body says to another, "I do not want you." Moreover, the divinely inspired author says, "The weakest of the members of the body are the more necessary." But in the body there is no conflict, so that the members are united to one another, God has arranged the body, giving greater glory to the less. But when one organ does not work, all the organs work with it. When one member receives glory, let all the members receive glory with it" (1 Cor. 12:24 - 26). Since we are members in the body of Christ, the truths that we are talking about are the truths that we need to practice. These are necessary in our daily lives. Whether in spiritual matters or in material matters, we are with fellow brothers and sisters. Since it is related (with the members), it is our responsibility to humbly put into practice the truths that we learn so that all the works of the church can run smoothly. We must look at another scripture that mentions the less important members of the body. It is Ephesians 4:15,16. While every organ in him works according to his own size By the strength of every joint, the body is being developed so that it may prosper in love. Every part that is given to Him fulfills its part so that it works powerfully and well. Thus each organ fulfills its role and helps the whole body to function smoothly and the body to grow. It is as spiritual as it is true of the human body The same is true of Christ's fleshly body.
