I think it’s important to remember the things that we have in common with each other. There may not be many of those things, since we obviously have so many things about us which emphasize our differences. We are different in our circles of friends, our backgrounds, our occupations, and in our likes and dislikes. Yet there is one important something which transcends all those differences. There is one something which complements those differences, and draws us together into a unified whole. There is something which makes us one, in spite of, and sometimes because of, our differences. That one something is the fact that we, as part of the Body, have the same Head. What distinguishes my hands from your hands is that my hands are connected to my body, not yours, and my hands are directed by the signals and impulses sent to them from my head. Your hands are controlled by your head. My feet, my eyelids, the nerves in my body, my heart, my little finger—all are controlled by the head of my body. We are the Church, and the Bible teaches that we are also the Body of Christ. What distinguishes us from the rest of the world is that though we have different functions and responsibilities, we still have the same Head—the Risen Lord Jesus Christ. Papa Rich
