Puzzle Pieces, by Querci

Ember, I’ve been thinking a lot about my last two posts What Does Invisible Look Like? and Please, Sir, I Want Some More.


We were talking about how the Bible tells us that Christ is the fullness of the image of the invisible God. 


And how God entrusted each of us regular people with different pieces of that image.


And all of our pieces together make up the body of Christ. 




And since we each have a different piece, we can learn more and different things about God from one another.


So I'm thinking that if we want to build up a complete picture of Christ inside of ourselves, we need a piece of the puzzle from everyone.


Of course that’s no problem with you Ember because you’re so easy to get along with.


The problem is that there are all sorts of difficult people out there who might refuse to cooperate with me, but I still need their pieces of the puzzle anyway!


What am I supposed to do? The first solution that popped into my mind was to hit uncooperative people over the head and take their pieces while they’re unconscious, but I know there’s got to be a better way.

    I love your visual aids, Querci, thanks!

    And yeah, the hitting over the head thing may not be a good idea because an unconscious person can't give you any feedback and you might have some questions about their piece once you have it.

    Sometimes I like to shock people so that they will stop and listen to me for a minute (not with an electrical shock, but rather with things like a big cup of ice water in the face or running around naked making monkey noises, stuff like that), but that is only a starting point (and arguably not the best one. I do what I can). In the end we all have to work together to get each piece of the puzzle.
