We were charged in Matthew 28 to go, preach, baptize and disciple. In preparation for the charge given to his disciples, Jesus said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”[1] Christ gives each of us grace, in the form of spiritual gifts, as he determines to apportion it.[2] He gives different gifts to different members of the Body. We are not to compare our gifts and abilities, nor to feel superior or inferior to other members of the Body, but celebrate them and make use of our respective gifts to serve others. Our works of service are to be used for building up the body of Christ. [3]
As we work together, each of us serving according to the gifts and opportunities Christ gives us, we will grow into “unity in the faith” (verse 13). Additionally Paul says, “So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.” Therefore our goal should be to establish, build, and uplift the church with our gifts.
