The Body of Christ

The town of Cochrane created an amazing mural consisting of 1 foot square tiles.  Each tile is painted by various artists and has its own individual picture, yet when put together, they create this incredible composition (click here to view mural).  You can click on each of the tiles–I’d recommend starting with the horse’s eye.

This is a beautiful portrayal of the body of Christ.  As Krista shared in The Greatest Stories Ever Told, we all have our own testimonies, which paint our individual tiles.  What is beyond my comprehension is how God can take all of our tiles and put them together to create a magnificent display.

So in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.”  Romans 12:5-8
