One Body but Many Parts

This past weekend I was reminded again of the beauty and diversity in the Body of Christ. My wife and I were invited to lead worship for the Ohio State CCCA Conference, which is an interdenominational affiliation of Christian Campgrounds. So there we were, leading worship for folks young and old, some loving the classic hyms, and others ready to make a new song. We were gathered with Baptist, non-denominationals, Presyterians, Nazarenes, Pentecostals, Mennonites and more. And even though there were some raising their hands, and some sitting at their seats, together we all touched heaven.
As a guy who is used to a little more corporate exuberance in worship, it served as a great reminder to me that although we may worship differently in style, we were all worshipping Jesus, and that is what truly matters.
It was another reminder to me that we may be many different parts, but we are one body, making one song with our lives. For me it was a little reflection of heaven and the day when the walls will all be down, the little differences will be behind us, and with one voice for all eternity we will sing to the Lord.
Rev 5:13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!"
