Paul says that the beloved community is about community. If someone is only concerned with “What’s in it for me?” the body will be miserable, just to the extent that a body cannot withstand an eye, an ear, or a pancreas that acts as though its function has no impact—except on itself.

We are bound together you and I, a community given the task of living out the good news that Jesus seeks out those who’ve too often been cast aside, left to rot in the convenient waste bins of a disinterested world.

The body of Christ, the community of faith anticipates the beloved community in which it is impossible to say to people of color, to the poor, the sick, the aged, the spat on, the pepper-sprayed, the victims of state-sanctioned terror, the forgotten ones: “‘I have no need of you.”
