以弗所书第四章
Eph. 4:11
The need for diversity as the basis of unity in the
body of Christ is well illustrated by a jigsaw puzzle. All the parts of the
puzzle are of equal importance to the completed puzzle, and without all of the
parts the puzzle would be incomplete. However, when building the puzzle, one
looks first for the four corner pieces that are foundational to the completion
of the rest of the puzzle. So, too, the four gifts mentioned in Ephesians 4:11
are foundational to the completion of the mature body of Christ. When the
jigsaw is finished, the four corner pieces are of no more value than the rest
of the pieces.
Eph. 4:26 Anger
Without Sin
Anyone can become angry. That is easy. But to be angry with the right
person, to the right degree, at the right time, and in the right way—that is not easy.
