NOTES for Co1 12:12-13

Here is the answer to the question: how is it that people, so different from one another, can still be one in the Church? "By one Spirit we were all baptized into one body," says the apostle Paul. From a human point of view, it appears that no group of people can do without disputes, quarrels, and divisions. But the Lord planned everything differently, and in Him unity in love is possible. So where is this unity?

What is the Church? The Church is us, believers in Christ, baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And if there is no unity in the Church, that means there is little love in us. And if there is little love in us, that means we have not yet been fully given to drink of the Spirit. Today, on the day of Pentecost, let us ask the Lord that rivers of the living water of the Holy Spirit may flow in our hearts, so that we can manifest this unity.
