CHRIST'S GIFTS

Ephesians 4:8-13
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Ephesians+4:8-13



Dear Father, giver of lasting gifts,

Thank you for the gracious gifts bestowed by your Messiah on us
when he descended into the depths for us and ascended into the
heights to reign with you.

He gave us, his church, lasting gifts - apostles and prophets,
evangelists, and shepherd/teachers for the equipment of the saints,
for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.

Thank you for these gifts given until we all attain the unity he
intends for us: faithful loyalty to Jesus, and full knowledge of
the Son of God himself - to mature manhood- so that we can attain
to the measure of the full stature of Christ himself.

In Jesus' name. Amen.
