Ushers of Our Church

SIGGE CRONSTEDT

In his letter to the Romans, Paul declares that we are "one body in Christ;" and he also states that we are "every one members one of another." In his first letter to the Corinthians he brings this home very clearly, showing that all the members, even "those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary," and have their important functions. The specific work assigned to each member is requisite; and it is also highly important in order that the whole body may remain sound and healthy, that no one of the members should suffer. Some of the members of the body may seem to be of more importance than others, but they are all necessary in order to form a complete body.

Paul gives us another lesson when he points out that no one of the members has any right to say of another, "I have no need of you." As it is among the bodily members, even so it is in our church membership. A certain committee or office may appear to be more important than another, just as the head has, apparently, a more prominent position than the arm among the members of the body; but a consecrated, unselfish, and loving cooperation of all the members is needed if our church is to keep sound, prosperous, and fruitful.
