"Again, I think of it this way: if Christ is the head of his body, then everything else is just body, including the pastor, and therefore the pastor needs what the body has been designed to deliver." - Paul D Tripp
I agree with that! What God feeds the Pastor to feed the congregation is not for the good of the group and not him but for the mutual good of the body. The preacher is a part of the body. He needs the fellowship in the body, the building up within the body.
All the parts of the human body work for the mutual good of the entire body. They inter-depend, inter-relate and contribute for each other.
Thus the importance of 1Corinthians 12:14-25
Let us seek to be an important member of the body, as you feed on the word it is good for you as it is good for the rest of the church members! You need what the body has been designed to deliver.
