This week we’ll be talking about 1 Corinthians 12, otherwise known as “The Body Metaphor” or “Spiritual Gifts: You all have ’em, they’re all different, and they’re all great!”
I’ll be focusing on verses 12-26, or the “body proper” as it were.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
So yeah, we’re all different, and we’re all parts of a body, eyes and ears and feet and even toes. So… when’s lunch?
In Sunday’s sermon, Rich touched on why this passage seems stale to us, and why it might not resonate to modern ears. We think of our bodies as machines, and not just machines, but computers.
