The Body of Christ | Day 18 of 21 Days

This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.

All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.

1 Corinthians 12:25-27 NLT

 

Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

Colossians 3:12-14 NLT

 

Think about it: There is a grander purpose for the body of Christ. But it requires us to be clothed with humility, kindness, mercy, and forgiveness.

 

Pray: As You have loved and forgiven me, God, help me to offer that same love and forgiveness to others that we may become the true body of Christ.
