RICK WARREN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 1ST MAY 2025.
One of the most common descriptions of the church in the Bible is the “body of Christ.” What Jesus Christ did when he was here in his physical body, he wants us to continue to do today. We are the body of Christ on earth.
The Bible says, “Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ’s body. We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to do. So we belong to each other, and each needs all the others” (Romans 12:4-5 TLB).
Everybody’s needed in the body of Christ—in God’s family. We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it complete.
It’s like a jigsaw puzzle. When you build a jigsaw puzzle and you’ve got one part missing, what do you notice? The one missing piece.
That’s the way it is in the body of Christ. Everybody’s needed. You may say, “I’m just a toenail in the body of Christ.” Have you ever lost a toenail? You notice it. I once dropped a 12-pound weight on a toenail. It may just be a tiny part of my body, but I sure noticed it for about six months.
Never confuse prominence and significance. Something can be prominent but not significant. My nose is prominent. It just sticks out there. But it’s not significant. I could lose my nose and keep on living the rest of my life happily ever after. It’s prominent, but it’s not significant.
But there’s significant stuff inside of me, like a liver, a heart, and lungs. They’re not prominent, but if I lost them, I’d die—because they’re significant.
You may not feel prominent in the body of Christ, but you are significant. In Christ’s body, there are many parts, but everybody’s needed. We all have work to do!
