Zebras and Wildebeests There should be no schism in the body, but ... the members should have the same care for one another. — 1 Corinthians 12:25 After our plane landed on the gravel airstrip, Jay and I climbed out and entered the world of Masai Mara in Kenya. A Masai tribesman named Sammy met us and loaded our baggage into a Land Rover. Then we headed towards the camp where we would spend the next 2 days. | |
| | Stopping so we could watch the zebras and wildebeests migrating from Masai Mara to Serengeti, Sammy explained that the two massive herds travel together because the zebras have good eyesight but a poor sense of smell, and the wildebeests have bad eyesight but a good sense of smell. By travelling together, both are less vulnerable to predators. This was our first lesson from God’s revelation in creation, which Kenya has in abundance. Just as God makes animals with different strengths and weaknesses, He makes people the same way. God made us to be dependent not only on Him but also on one another. The apostle Paul elaborated on this idea in his letter to the church in Corinth. As members of the body of Christ, we all have different gifts and abilities (1 Cor. 12:12-31). |
| The church is healthy only when we work together, look out for each other, and use our strengths to benefit one another. — Julie Ackerman Link Help us, Lord, to work together With the gifts that You bestow; Give us unity of purpose As we serve You here below. — Sper We can go a lot further together than we can alone. PRAISE GOD BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD | |

The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
