1 Corinthians in Everyday Life
The Concise Oxford dictionary describes the liver as a large glandular organ. It then goes on and tells us about its function. Here’s what it says. It secretes bile which is a brownish-yellow colour. It is bitter and aids with digestion.
Having said that some parts of the body were having a discussion. The hand explained how he was the most important because none of the others had the ability to pick things up.
The eye interrupted the hand and told how he was far more important because it was only the eye could see what was going to be picked up.
The ear disagreed. He was the most important as only he was able to hear what the instructions were in the first place.
Just then the liver came in. The other parts of the body told him to go away because he smelt terrible. “With a smell like that you’ll never be the most important part of the body”.
“Is that right”, said the liver. “Then I’m going on strike”. The other parts of the body began to shut down. “Liver”, they cried. “We’re sorry, please come back”.
To see what the Bible says look up 1 Cor 12v12-27
