Interrelated Reality

1 Corinthians 12:21(ERV)

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you!” And the head cannot say to the foot, “I do not need you!”

1 Corinthians 12:26(ERV)

If one part of the body suffers, then all the other parts suffer with it. Or if one part is honored then all the other parts share its honor.

The Apostle Paul was a lawyer in theology, always making a case.

He always talk about how each part of the physical body needed each other and how each part was important, he then compared that with the body of Christ.

The Apostle Paul was talking to the Christian Community, but that can be applied to all parts of life.

How we all needed each other to fully become our best.

For whatever reason some people want to be isolationist without contact with others, especially those who are not like them.

Whether it is because of their race, religion, or financial or social status, some people believe that they can live without others.

There may be times in our lives that we need to be alone or isolated but that’s not God ultimate plan for our lives.

Interrelated Reality – The concept that everything in the universe, from people, to societies, and the ecosystems exist in these interdependent networks, where changes to one part affects the whole world.

Dr. Martin Luther King quote:

“All life is interrelated. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied on a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

We are depended on each other, humanity is a bound in a shared destiny.

The consequences of the like of care for other humans is injustice, suffering, which eventually impacts everyone.

We can build all the underground bonkers we want, gated communities, but no one is born better than others.

Mark 3:24(ERV)

A Kingdom that fights against itself will not survive.

The division in the United States and the world is at an all-time high, together we stand and divided we fall.

Having a respectable discussion with some people of an opposite opinion is almost impossible.

To some people others do not matter, especially if they are of a different opinion about anything.

I’ve just completed my first full year on WordPress and I know there are difference of opinion but it seems respectful, hopefully it stays that way.

Hopefully WordPress can be an example of people of different opinions coming together and making a change.

Unity doesn’t mean that we feel the same way about everything, all of Jesus disciples were different, but they did great things together.

I’m not more valuable than anyone and no one is more valuable than me.

We are all constantly trying to navigate through this human experience, we do not have to always agree but we can get along.
