*.* One body many parts *.*

This was the sermon topic on Sunday when I was at the Chinese Service.
It's something funny, sensible and biblical.

One day, the body parts were arguing who is more important. The hand was saying very proudly that she is the most important of all because she holds things and grabs food to put into the mouth.

The leg was saying he is the most important of all because he does the walking to the market so that the hand is able to choose the food.

The eye then said very proudly that she is the most important of all, without her, the body cannot see. When this happens, the leg will not know where to move and the hands will not be able to hold things that cannot be seen.

All three of them were quarreling to see who is the most important in the body. Then they heard someone shouting, "What about me? What about me?"

All three of them were wondering who was that shouting and asked, "Who are you?"

The little voice replied, "I'm the anus."

There was a sudden quietness, after that laughter burst out. "You, Anus!? You are useless! You are not important at all!"

The anus felt so sad and he thought since he is useless, he decided to shut off and closed up.

3 days passed, the body was feeling uneasy but the other parts were still quarreling among themselves, justifying who is more important and continued to tease the anus saying he is useless.

5 days passed, the body was feeling unwell.

Finally 1 week passed, the body collapsed. No one is able to compare and argue who is more important.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many times we compare ourselves to others. We tend to compare what we don't have with others or we compare who plays the most important role in school, in office and even in church. We didn't know that even the insignificant role can play a very important role. We simply cannot function without each other especially in the Body of Christ. Even the little toe that hurts, it makes walking difficult. Even the broken fingernail makes shampooing difficult. Just like our human body, the Body of Christ works the same.

We are all important in the eyes of our Father...
