     COMPLETE EACH OTHER
(1 Corinthians 12:14-26)

      Paul describes the church as the body. One body but many members, each member has different tasks and functions. But every member of the body can not be separated and not separated from one another, that one requires the other, and vice versa. Are required by the other, no member of the body is more important, higher and more useful. Nor is there any lower limb or less useful. Each member body that no one can function by itself but rather interdependent and complementary.
WHY TO COMPLETE EACH OTHER?
1. WE NEED PEOPLE REALIZE v14-V19
*) Each member of the body can not stand alone, but requires the other.
*) Hand requires a foot; legs needed a hand; hand takes the eye, the eye needs a hand; ears need mouth to convey what is heard; mouth need ears to hear before delivering / talk.
This illustrates that in life everyone needs everyone else. No one can live without the other.
2. WE RECOGNIZE OTHERS REQUIRED v21-v24
*) Eyes needed hand before doing anything
*) Mata takes the foot before running
*) Ear needed before talking and do something
      *) All the members of the body necessary and complementary
      Let us realize if God allows us to be in this world, we
      it takes a family, church, community and so on. Such as physician
      dibutuhka by patients, faculty needed by students, fishermen, farmers,
      dans merchant so needed by society.
3. AWARE THAT EACH MEMBER OF THE BODY LIMITED
*) The eyes function to see
*) Hand function to do something but can not see
*) Legs to walk not to hear, not to see and so on.
Whoever amongst us is also limited, there is no man who can do everything, nothing we can do, but there is nothing we can do, otherwise there are other people who can not do, but we can do it.
With the limitations of the self that God allows each of us let us complement each other well in the family, work and in the service and finally the name of God in the glorified through our lives.
