As we all know, a motorcycle chain is made up of links. Each link is vital to the chain and there are exactly the amount of links needed. No more, no less. Together each link does its part so power is transferred from the motor to the rear wheel.
If even one link breaks, the rest will feel it as the chain goes flying off and the motorcycle is no longer propelled forward by the engine.
The church is just like that. We are all needed, linked together and doing our part. That is how we remain strong, that is how we move forward.
"...But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it." 1 Cor 12:24-26 (NIV)
