Greetings, This is Paul's discussion of the Body. He's using the analogy of the human body to explain the church, and the roles each christian plays within the church. He just finished explaining how the body needs different parts in order to function as a whole. A body that has all eyes, won't be able to hear, smell, touch, or even speak. Each part of the body is dependant upon the other parts of the body. Now, beginning in verse 22, Paul switches gears slightly. Now, he's focusing on the individual purposes of the parts of the body rather than the dependancy. There are certain roles with in the church that seem the more desirable and honorable. On the contrary, there are some that are not so glammorous. Being the pastor of a church seems like a very nice and prestigeous role to play. However, being the Church's janitor is not as desirable, yet it needs to be done. What Paul is saying here, is that the percieved "less honorable" roles within the church should be just as honored and respected as the most prestigeous role within the church. Paul is making a solid argument that there should be no jealousy or division within the church. You shouldn't be wanting to be in another position of the church, but rather performing the role christ placed you in. Jesusman |
