Poem
Upon the mighty spot called Golgotha was a most vicious army of ants. They were the hardest worker ants you would ever want to run into, but they had one problem. They all wanted to be the top ant and they kept bickering to reach the top so that they could get all the Queen’s attention. They fought and they fought and they worked and they worked simply trying to attain a higher status than the others. Soon the queen ant came to visit her colony one day and to assess the progress on this mighty project. She stood at the base of the ant hill and just began shaking her head in disgust. “Why oh why are they torturing each other in this way?” she thought. “Why are they trying to compete with each other? Surely they understand that they all receive the same prize and that is to live with me in my colony!”

The queen ant thought long and hard about the dilemma of the competitiveness of her ants. She decided to make a formal decree. So she gathered all the worker ants together and tried to impose rules of civility. She also attempted to create an atmosphere of harmony. She informed the ants that the workload is to be shared. She informed the ants that they were no longer allowed to compete with one another, but to work as one body. She wanted to see harmony among the ant colony and no ant should be greater than another. 

The ant colony agreed to these new set of rules. They agreed to be one body with the Queen Ant being the head of the body. She delivered the orders and they all humbly obeyed. She gave each of them special tasks and special gifts along the way. The ant colony flourished and the ants lived in harmony forevermore. 

What is the moral of this story you might ask? The moral of the story is that within the kingdom of God there is no one greater than another. In the kingdom of God there are no giant ants or any one greater than God. We are all called to work alongside each other in harmony and get the job done at any cost. 
Thank you, Jesus.

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
