1 Corinthians 12:7 … The Spirit of the Common Good (09/18/16)
“To each is Given the manifestation of the Spirit for the Common Good.” ~ Paul (1 Corinthians 12:7)
Even though the biblical Paul was often obviously far more often than not completely clueless as to the active, humble, and selfless nature of The Way of Jesus Christ, note that he did (at least in this verse) mention here that it was not the Spirit itself that is given to us when we are worthy, but rather that it is “the manifestation of that Spirit for the Common Good” (i.e. the ability to actively & selflessly serve our communities &/or the others around us) that is given to us in every moment of our lives …
Please consider this deeply — and please enact it resolutely.
Amen … Let it be so.
