*FINDING PURPOSE IN THE BODY*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:"* (1 Corinthians 1:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
No calling of God upon a man is entirely private or unique or special. No gift of God in the life of a man is entirely for the individual benefit of the bearer of the gift. Paul was called an Apostle and brother Sosthenes was a brother in the Lord, both for the general good of the body of Christ.
*"Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's"* (1 Corinthians 1:1-2 (KJV))
There is something in the Call of God upon your life for both your immediate circle and the rest of the body of Christ. The body of Christ is designed to be inter-connected and inter-dependent. Don't ever think you can stand alone. Paul didn't shy away from mentioning Brother Sosthenes. Paul also wasn't too special in his own eyes that he tried to do God's work alone! Your part, whether major or minor, whether big or small, is essential to the grand design and purpose of God.
No big man of God ever started big. No big business person started big. There is always a relatively small or smaller beginning at some point in the story line. Hold dear that gift God has deposited in you. Some persons may be more pronounced than others, but if you are a brother Sosthenes rejoice in your ability and be content in your part. Just be faithful at the place of your calling!
The word of God has a specific and a generic application in your life. The Book is written specially to you as it was written for the Corinthian believer in the time of Paul-- "called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's"
The most important thing is this, Is Jesus truly your Lord!? He is our Lord, but is He YOUR Lord? Is He MY Lord? Not in word only, but indeed! Once we live in the reality of JESUS LORDSHIP, then we truly begin to find meaning in the Body!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Whatever your story, find purpose in the body of Christ. Don't be a lone ranger. Identify with the body. You are not that special. You are not that ordinary too. You belong to the body of Christ. Find meaning in Christ, who is the head of the Body."*
