Don’t feel inferior!
(v15-20)
Don’t feel superior!
(v21-25)
One Holy Spirit – in all genuine believers. (v12-14)
Hands are better than feet but both belong to the body!
No body-part is independent. You need other people!
You are part of Christ’s body because of your new identity, not because of what you can do!
Care for the weak
Honour the weak
They are vitally important!
We need diversity in church!
Those with hidden-away gifts are vital.

3. Jesus was brought down so we can be raised up!

12v24b God has put the body together, giving greater honour to the parts that lacked it..
In the Kingdom of God, the least and the greatest are reversed!
Jesus was brought down so we can be raised up!
