Sparks is probably the only guy who wouldn’t sue me for plagiarism. :)

I suppose my thought in this post was more towards a distinguishing between the members of the body with those joints and ligaments which connect them, but you are right in saying that overall it’s all the same. Unfortunately there are so many who fail to recognize their place and function as a member of Christ’s Body! Perhaps this explains the importance of the gifted ones, as their ministry is geared toward helping other members take their own place and thus fulfill the same calling. So that they themselves will do the work of the ministry.

There is a widespread lack of appreciation for the Body as Paul saw it, which is evidenced by the way we look down on one another’s differences and fail to come together as one.

Another great post. Of course, in Ephesians 4:16, Paul is saying that every believers is like a joint or ligament is to the body. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we grow to a point that we are functioned in that way? But, you’re right, this worker was like that also, and he provided a great model for you.

I really appreciate you taking the time to write it Josh.
