  • Summary

  • ROMANS 12:4-5 N.T. WRIGHT: THE KINGDOM NEW TESTAMENT 4 As in one body we have many limbs and organs, you see, and all the parts have different functions, 5 so we, many as we are, are one body in the Messiah, and individually we belong to one another. * Community is the home where we (as little children of our Father) grow up into sons and daughters learning and doing His will. * What does it mean to you when you hear, “…individually members one of another"? ** What might we discover if we take this a bit more literally? “How do we think about our relationship with each other?” As a duty, a revelation, an opportunity, an honor? * “We are not ourselves by ourselves. We are ourselves only in community.” – Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, 2005. (Are we each a revelation of one another’s identity?) * "Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses." – C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, 1941 (An encounter with God’s Image? A holy honor?) * "When we step into God’s light, we walk with others who are stepping into that same light." – George MacDonald --Unspoken Sermons, 1867–1889. (An opportunity forward into faith?) 1 Cor 12:12b …the “members”… though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.
