The Body – It is God’s Ideas
– “But God has put the body together…”

The Body – It brings honor to all parts
– “..giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it…”

The Body – It cares for each part and stays unified
– “…so that there should be no division in the body, but that each its parts should have equal concern for each other…”

The Body – It suffers as one
– “…If one part suffers, every part suffers with it…”

The Body – It rejoices as one
– “…if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.”

Philippians 2:1-4
