The Unseemly Seemliness Intestines


I Corinthians 11-12

“…and our unseemly members come to have more abundant seemliness.”  12:23b

Paul’s covering the rules and gifts that orchestrate public worship.  As he does so he encourages those who seemingly have lesser gifts.

I use to think that the human form was the highest state of beauty.  Then I saw Tim Hawkinson’s massive work Uberorgan that depicted the human intestine.  Can you imagine the beauty of an organ that can take chocolate cake and hotdogs and turn them into you?  An unseemly member elevated to profoundly abundant seemliness.

This is only part of it.  It streches into another building and issues
sounds much like your stomach growling.
