The body of Christ

“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27
No two people are the same, in personality, character, history. We each have a unique combination of qualities and abilities that God has given us to be used in conjunction with other people’s unique qualities and abilities in the Church.
Now, this requires a ‘big picture’ mindset. By ‘Church’ I mean the collection of all true believers in Jesus Christ, through all ages of history from Pentecost up to the Rapture. This is distinct from the ‘church’, a local congregation. There are people in the Church who are not part of any church. And similarly, there are people in church who are not part of the Church.
Paul likens that complete collection of believers to a body (the body of Christ). Some of us are hands – servants; others of us are feet – evangelists; others are mouths – prophets, teachers; others are eyes, spine, and so forth.
We are not all the same, nor are we the complete package. We need to work with each other in order for the Church to function effectively. If we only associate with people of like callings and talents, we miss out on (a) benefiting from the rest of the body and (b) being a benefit to the rest of the body.
Also, no part of the body of Christ is redundant. God is able to use each of us to bless others in some way. We shouldn’t isolate ourselves just because we feel like we don’t fit. We are all needed to make the body complete.
