Knit together

"For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another."

Eph 5:23-27 says that the church will be presented to Christ holy and blameless. And how is this constituted? "hearts knit together in love".

That language might sound familiar: "you knit me together in my mother's womb"

When something breaks (infection, cancer) in my body it doesn't feel like I'm so wonderfully made; I notice the problems. But I am. And we don't always notice that the church is "fearfully and wonderfully made", but it is. We've a role in trying to keep it so.
