“He Himself gave some to be apostles,
some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors
and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry,
for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of
the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
EPHESIANS
4:11-13
Each
of these ministry functions fulfill different roles, but their purpose
is the same, and that is, to bring ALL of us into that same fullness,
that same spiritual maturity, that same experiential knowing, which the
elders themselves enjoy. Thus, He gives SOME, till we ALL… SOME, till we
ALL… SOME, till we ALL. Do you see this? And He will continue to give
SOME till we ALL. Once He has ALL
then the work is complete and these ministries will no longer be needed.
Until then they ARE needed, and they are critical to God’s Purpose.
