Thoughts on the Lectionary for Pentecost commonly called Whitsunday

From the Epistle Lesson: 1 Corinthians 12:4 -14

Vs. 11 "But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."

Paul here describes to the church in Corinth the diversity of spiritual gifts that the Holy Ghost has dispersed among the people of Christ. He mentions that the church has many diverse people included in it and therefore has many diverse needs. Such a diversity of needs requires a great diversity of gifts to minister to the body. As he will describe later in the chapter.

Having described diverse gifts that are given to the church for her profit he makes a central point. That the gifts are given and dispersed among the members of the body as the Spirit of God wills. We his people must remember that the gifts reflect the giver of those gifts and we are to use them accordingly.

So let us live our lives utilizing our God given gifts for the benefit of Christ’s church and all of mankind.

Blessings,
