Part 26: The Assembly as One Body (1 Corinthians 12:12–31)

Unity in Diversity Under the Lordship of Messiah

In this powerful teaching, we explore what it means to be one body with many members—each vital, each placed by God, and all under the headship of Yeshua. Paul uses the human body as a metaphor, reminding us that every believer has a role and function in the spiritual community.

We reflect on Paul’s Damascus Road encounter, where Yeshua said, “Why are you persecuting Me?”—revealing the intimate connection between the Messiah and His people.

We also draw a profound connection to Passover, when Christ gave His life to unite us in Him. Just as Israel was delivered to become a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19:6), we are redeemed to function together in love, service, and unity.
