In a world where independence and self-reliance are heralded as virtues...Paul calls the church to be in need of one another.
In a world where we make a name for ourself, the church invites us into an eternal family where we give all of ourself up...to be...a member of the very body of the Messiah/Christ.
This strange idea is illustrated by Paul's use of the body and its many parts/members. Let's revisit the image to see how we can be renewed in our minds, hearts, souls, and bodies.
Will you receive the Word with open hands?
Will you accept the call to be needy?
