Resurrected – Renewed Gifts - Bel Reynolds

In the city of Corinth the Christians had created issues of status in their church - Paul is writing to correct them. In Roman culture, the metaphor of the body was used to reinforce tiers of status in Roman society. But Paul uses this metaphor to remind Christians of their interdependence - in our diversity we are all part of one body. Being parts, we are all needed, whatever our gifts - no unneeded spare parts. But we are not all the same part - our diversity is an invitation to interdependence, valuing one another. And we all have a part to play, whether in the grace of giving, leading worship, visiting, or any of the many roles in the church.
