let's say for a moment the body of Messiah is one body...has one faith, one Spirit, one baptism, one Father and one Master or L-rd...oh! of course, that's scriptural...His Word says that...
then let's say in the body of Messiah, there are apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists and teachers set up for the equipping of said body...
then there's shepherds, elders and deacons for the spiritual care and overseeing of the body...and we can't forget the givers, the administrators, the hosts and hostesses, the ones who show mercy and the ones with words of exhortation, words of edification, those with prophetic words, words of wisdom and words of knowledge for those in the body of Messiah...
then there are those with the gift of healings, the gift of miracles, the gift of tongues and interpretation, the gift of prophecy and the gift of wisdom and knowledge and we can't forget those with the gift of discernment either...
and all of these people are planted in the body of Messiah, each gifted, called and anointed to function in the body and community of Messiah...
yet do they?
yet...do we???
as we all ponder these biblical truths, i will continue my thoughts at a later time because i have an appointment to get to!
shalom!
