As we talk about the church, let us use an analogy, that of flying a kite. As we consider this activity, we may ask, “Who flew the kite?”
“I did,” comes a reply from the wind!
“I did,” shouts the paper!
“I did,” exclaims the tail!
“I did,” says the string!
“I did,” boasts the boy!
But in reality, they ALL flew the kite! If the wind had lulled, if the paper had torn, if the tail had gotten caught in the tree, if the string had broken, or the boy had fallen, then the kite would have come down! EACH HAD A PART TO PLAY!
