Supporting Ligaments

By Linda Tancs

Various translations of Ephesians 4:16 speak of supporting ligaments in the body of Christ. In the natural body, ligaments act as connectors. So, too, are members of the body of Christ. Nothing we do individually is complete. In fact, over our lifetime only a fraction of God’s enterprise is worked out through us. Through the ages we lay foundations and plant seeds that other connectors will build upon. That’s our task and our destiny. The point is simply to do something because the kingdom of God will always lie beyond you.
