The Missing Piece of the Puzzle
I Corinthians 3:7, 8 – (NIV) “So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.”
When my kids were growing up we used to spend days putting together large puzzles. We enjoyed working together as a family to solve the puzzle; but every once in awhile that joy of seeing the finished puzzle would turn to disappointment when we discovered that one piece was missing. Though frustrated I was rewarded with a super cleaned house. The Church, the body of Christ, is like a puzzle and each believer is one of its many pieces. Our Father and the other heavenly hosts patiently and meticulously put together this puzzle which will one day reveal all His glory. Now imagine the disappointment in God’s heart when He comes to the end of the puzzle and discovers a missing piece of the puzzle!
Here the Apostle Paul was setting the Corinthian believers straight about his purpose; about how he fit into the grand puzzle of the Kingdom of God. The Corinthian’s were trying to force Paul into the puzzle where he did not fit; Paul was the planter not the savior. Paul had “one purpose” and only fit into one specific part of the puzzle. We are given “one purpose” and it is our duty to find it and then allow God to fit us into the puzzle. There would be nothing worse than to come to the end of the puzzle and discover that you were “The Missing Piece of the Puzzle.”
