The Body of Christ

Any town or city church are, in general we are all interrelated, there are various trades, and, as we exercise our trades, form a united body or not.

If we do it honestly, fairly and with love for others, formed the body of Christ, each within their role, there should be no discrimination, do not consider that a supposedly minor role is not necessary, an architect needed masons and other operators, otherwise could not carry out their work, a hospital could not function only with doctors, need nurses , cleaning staff, technicians and administrative staff, etc.. all are necessary, all form the body of that hospital, and if everyone acts as Jesus did, form the body of Christ.

But there is something else, if we have Christ as spiritual guide, God will give to who has less, not live by bread alone man. But by the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 12

12 Well just as the body is one, although it has many members, and all members of the body, despite their plurality, not more than one body, so too Christ.
13 in one Spirit we were all baptized, to train just one body, Jews and Greeks, slaves and free. And we all drank from a single Spirit.
14 Also the body is not composed of one member but of many.
27 However, you are the body of Christ, and its members each on their part.
28 And so put God in the Church, as apostles, like prophets, like teachers, then miracles, then the gift of healing, care, governance, diversity of languages.

29 Does all are apostles? Or all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all with the power of miracles?
30 Are all with charisma of healing? Are all languages speak? Do all interpret?
31 aspires to the charisms higher! And even I going to show a more excellent way.
