Jesus Christ is sufficient to meet all of our needs. And Christ’s sufficiency most often is expressed through His body, the church. The Spirit-filled family of God is His chosen means of ministering to the needs of each family member. That means you and I are needed by others. We’re stewards of a generous enablement given to be used in the lives of other Christians. “...grace (God’s unmerited favor) was given to each of us individually – not indiscriminately, but in different ways – in proportion to the measure of Christ’s (rich and bounteous) gift.” Ephesians 4:7 (The Amplified Bible) Our unity as a church depends upon each one of us using our giftedness for God’s intended purposes in the lives of others. This Sunday, we’ll continue our study “Side-by-Side: Unity through diversity.”
