Paul compares the church to a body by saying that each part of the human body carries out a specific function and that they also all work together to make a completely working body. For the church, we all have certain roles (believe it or not) that we carry out and together as the "Body of Christ" we shall be united and build each other up.

How does the New Testament compare the church to a body?
The NT doesn't compare the local church (the church you go to) with a body. But it does compare the universal church (all believers in Christ) to a body.The universal church is like a body because it is made up of many parts (believers).These parts should function in harmony together - just as the many parts of a body function together.No part is more important than another part. Every part has a function.Just as a head leads/controls a body, Christ is the head of the universal church.Comment: Just what do you mean by universal as a mainstream church carries this as part of its name? The Bible calls the Church Jesus established, 'the Church of God,' in about 12 places in the N.T.. Is this your 'universal' Church?? This Church, by the way, has always had the 'little flock.'
