Our Strength In Numbers!
"let us consider one another in order to stir
up love and good works, not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together, as is the
manner of
some, but exhorting one another,
and so much the more as you see the Day
approaching."
Hebrews 10: 24-25
The roadway of the Golden Gate Bridge in
San Francisco is suspended from two massive
cables. Each of the two cables is three feet in
diameter. Each cable consists of 61 bundles of
steel wire, each bundle containing 452 wires,
bringing the total number of steel wires in each
cable to 27,572.
To an observer, it appears the roadway
is
suspended from two large cables, but in
reality, it is suspended from 55,144 tiny
wires bundled together.
There's strength in numbers, a truth promoted
by the apostle Paul when he used the
human
body as an illustration for the Body of Christ.
Each cell in the human body is like an
individual in the Church.
Faith of one member is multiplied exponentially
when combined with the faith of all. Whether
one
wire in a cable, one cell in a body, one believer
in the Church—all are important.
Make sure you are an active part in
strengthening the Body of Christ by
meeting regularly with others.
"There is no insignificant
member in a church."
Michael J. Wilkins
