Lessons for New Believers, chp 1

In order to serve God, we also need to be in the Body. In fact, to be in the church is to be

in the Body because the church is the Body of Christ. However, there is a slight

difference. With respect to serving in the church, the emphasis is on the setting for

service, but with respect to serving in the Body, the emphasis is on the coordination in

service. If we have the setting, we will not be aimless, and if we have the coordination,

we will not be individualistic. If we do not serve in the church, we are a person without a

proper setting, serving aimlessly, and if we do not serve in the Body, we are a person who

is without coordination, serving individualistically.

Serving in

the Body

It is a suffering and even an abnormal and terrifying thing

for a member of a body, be it a hand, a foot, an ear, or an

eye, to be individualistic and detached from the body. If a

detached hand were placed in front of us, we would be

terrified. When we shake hands with others, however, we

think that the hand we are holding is lovely ... Certain

believers today are hands that are detached from the

Body of Christ. Such ones are truly terrifying! The loveliest

members can become the most terrifying ones if they are

detached from the Body.

A member that is outside of the Body is not only terrifying but also useless. Any member that is

detached has lost its function. Hence, if we desire to be useful persons and manifest our function in

the church, we must be joined to the Body and coordinate with all the brothers and sisters. We must

see that we are merely one of many members in the Body. Any function we may have depends upon

the other members. Hence, no one can boast ... In serving the Lord, we need the proper setting, and

we need to learn to coordinate. The setting is the church, and the coordination is in the Body. As

soon as we coordinate with the members of the Body, our beauty and function will be manifested.
