1 Corinthians 12:17, If the Whole Body Were An Eye

1 Corinthians 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

Adrian Rogers said candidly, “He does not have the equipment. You cannot smell music. Your nose may be working very well, but it cannot smell music.” You need a good pair of ears to hear and appreciate or appraise the sound of music. So we need a good pair of eyes to see the world around us. Is the eye more important than the ear? It is a wrong question to ask because the eye has its unique to the body just as the ears. Each cannot boast or belittle the other, each is sovereign place by God to bring honour to His Name.

As we consider the intricacies of the human body, we see how each part of the body is wonderfully made by God with its own unique function contributing to the strength and smooth function of the entire body.

Thank God for His wisdom in making us who we are. May He help us to function faithfully according as He has endowed us. Amen.
