One Member Hurts
In the Bible we read that when one member of the body hurts, the whole body reacts to it. This is to show us that Christians are members of one body, the Church, and if one hurts we all react to it.
Early last evening, my thumb started to hurt, as though something had bitten me. I ignored it for the most part, but the problem didn't go away. It's not a big hurt. On a scale of 0-10, it might really be a 1, certainly not much higher. But it's hot, swollen, and somewhat itchy, and VERY annoying! I woke up through the night often with it bothering me.
It's very true that when one member of the body suffers, the whole body pays attention. I ask myself, "Am I this much aware of the hurts of the Christians whom I know? Am I paying attention?"
