Look to Your Right, Look to Your Left
Look to your right, look to your left. That is the body of Christ.
“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”
Shepherd’s Note
Paul's picture in First Corinthians is as local as a room. You are the body of Christ, he says, and each one of you is a part of it, which means the body is not an idea on a page. It is the believer on your right and the believer on your left, with their gifts, wounds, and ordinary faithfulness. You were never designed to be a detached part, surviving on private devotion alone. Look around, learn the names, and take your place gladly among them.
