11"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:11-13 (NIV)
As I read over this passage of scripture today I could not get the Unity, Knowledge of the Son and Maturity out of my head. It just kept coming back to me. Wheather you hold to a 4 fold or 5 fold ministry, is besides the point. God has given these to help edify the body and for all to come to have unity with one another, knowledge of Jesus and being fully mature in our faith. Just thought I would share this passage with you today...more thoughts later.
