We must see ourselves as being the gospel that other people see. By deeds that you do, by words that you say. God reads what you write, whether faithless or true. The poem says that each of us really is an important member of the Body of Christ. To tie this thought back to our first image, Jesus is gracing us with a journey that will help us.
People really are gospels to other people.
