Presentation transcript:

Each part of the spiritual body is indispensable. 1 Cor 12:21-26. Paul seems to speak about our roles in the body. The body at Corinth was not one. To help them achieve real unity, Paul writes about the “One Body.”

One Body v 12

“As the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.” The word “one” occurs five times in these two verses! Throughout the Scriptures, we are urged to create the true unity being one body represents. We are to “[endeavor] to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (Eph 4:3). “Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” (Phil 1:27).

“All the members of the body, though many, are one body.”

There are different talents. 1 Cor 3:6-7. Col 4:10-11.

One Baptism v 13

“By one Spirit we were all baptized into one body- -whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free.” The Spirit is highly active in the conversion process (Jn 3:5; Tit 3:5). The Spirit’s role in baptism has to do with His making us new people (Ezek 36:36-37; Gal 5:22-23). Paul emphasizes the oneness of the Spirit and the oneness of the body.

Baptized by one Spirit into one body, regardless of race or class. There is no place for division over someone’s ethnic background in the church of our Lord (Gen 1:27; Acts 17:26). There is also no way that a Christian can participate in social division (Js 2:1-7).

One Beverage v 13c

We “have all been made to drink into one Spirit.” Why drink of the Spirit? In Scripture, “water” often stands for spiritual life and vitality: e.g., Jn 4:13-14. Jesus also equates the Spirit with living water: Jn 7:37-39. How do we drink of the Spirit? I think this refers to the non-miraculous indwelling of the Spirit. “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38).

What does drinking the Spirit have to do with us? Paul’s emphasis is on the one body. Because we all have the indwelling of the Spirit, we are equals.
