Commentary

Commentary on 1 Corinthians 12:15

Theological / Devotional

I am not of the body. No member of the body can justifiably say that because it is not another part having possibly a larger place in the affairs of the body, it is not needed, and so is not an essential part of the body. In a similar manner no member of the mystical body of Christ can say that because he does not fill a certain position he is useless, and bears no essential relation to the church. The lowliest member of the church is as much a member of the body of Christ as the most highly endowed (see Matt. 23:8–12; James 3:1; 1 Peter 5:3). All members are dear to Christ. He gave His life for all. He would have died for one soul (see Luke 15:4-7; DA 480; 8T 73).
