CARE
FOR ONE ANOTHER
...there
should be no schism in the body, but that the members should
have the same care for one another. 1 Corinthians 12:25 [NKJV]
A
"One Anothering" Thought
A schism is a division or disunion. This verse is saying that there should not be any divisions or disunions in Christ's church, but that all members should care for one another.
To
Care means:
to feel concern
to look after
to attend to
In other words, Paul says that
we believers should look after one another. We should show
concern for one another's needs and wants. We should attend to
things we can do for one another. We should provide prayer
support when necessary and material support as we are
able.
ONE-ANOTHERING IN ACTION: Pay close
attention to your brothers and sisters in Christ. Do you see a
need you can meet? Are you able to give prayer support to
someone or help in a material way? Perhaps all that may be
needed is a pat on the back or a hand of comfort to show you
understand and care. Maybe a phone call or a thoughtful note is all that's
necessary. There are many ways we can care for one
another...try finding one way you can do so today.
This
makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members
care for each other equally. 1 Corinthians 12:25 [NLT]
