The Perfect Gift
May 31, 2020
In each of the last few weeks, I’ve had the joy of giving a gift to one person (or family) who has filled out our online Communication Card. It’s been fun to delight people with a surprise they didn’t expect and to give them something that was chosen specifically for them. If you haven’t been completing the Communication Card, you might want to rethink that! You just might end up being our weekly recipient! I mean, who doesn’t want to get a gift?
As we come to our study in 1 Corinthians this week, we’re in chapter 12. Paul continues to give instruction about how the body of Christ should function; and in this passage, he turns his attention to the topic of spiritual gifts. Unlike our weekly gift that goes to just one lucky “winner,” ALL who belong to the body of Christ, who choose to follow Jesus, have been given spiritual gifts. They’re gifts that have been carefully selected for each individual. They’re given for a purpose, and discovering what they are and then using them brings great joy and satisfaction!
