Today¡¦s
scripture passage from Ephesians 4 talks about the unity and diversity in the
body of Christ, which is the church. Not everyone is the same, but we are all
important to the kingdom, and when we are unified in Christ, amazing things
can happen.

1-6 As a prisoner
for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have
received. 2. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one
another in love. 3. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through
the bond of peace. 4, There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called
to one hope when you were called¡X5, one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6, one
God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Commentary from
N.I.V. Ephesians, p. 2534 ¡§There is one body,¡¨ says Paul. Unity
does not just happen; we have to work at it. Often difference among people can
lead to division, but this should not be true in the church. Instead of
concentrate ng on what divides us, we should remember what unites us; one body,
one Spirit, one God! Have you learned to appreciate people who are different
from you? Can you see how their differing gifts and viewpoints can help the
church as it does God¡¦s work? Learn to enjoy the way we members of Christ¡¦s
body complement one another. (1 Co. 12:12, 13)

v.7, Each believer has God-given abilities that
can strengthen the whole body. Our special ability may seem small or large, but
it is ours to use in God¡¦s service. ASK God to use our unique gifts to
contribute to the strength and health of body of believers.

V.9.The
¡§lower, earthly regions¡¨ may be 1) the earth itself (lowly by comparison to
heaven), 2) the grave, or 3) Hades (many believe hades is the resting place of
souls between death and resurrection). However we understand it, Christ is Lord
of the whole universe, past, present, and future. Nothing or no one is hidden
from him. The Lord of all came to earth and faced death to rescue all people.
No one is beyond his reach.)

V.11-12.Our oneness in Christ does not destroy our
individuality. The Holy Spirit has given each Christian special gifts for
building up the church. Now that we have these gifts, it is crucial to use
them. Are you spiritually mature, exercising the gifts God has given you? If
you know what your gifts are, look for opportunities to serve. If you don¡¦t
know, ask God to show you.

church an enormous responsibility-to make disciples in every nation (Matthew
28:18-20). This involves preaching, teaching, healing, nurturing, giving,
administering, building and many other tasks.
God calls us as members of his body. Some of us can do one task; some
can do another. Working together, the church can express the fullness of
Christ.

V.4:14-16, Christ is the truth
(John 14:6), and the Holy Spirit who quides the church is the Spirit of truth
(John 16:13). Satan, by contrast, is the father of lies (John 8:44). As
followers of Christ, we must be committed to the truth. This means both that
our words should be honest and that our actions should reflect Christ¡¦s
integrity. Speaking the truth in love is ¡Cnot always easy, convenient, or pleasant,
but it is necessary if the church is going to do Christ¡¦s work in the world.

The Gift of
Christian Diversity: God
uses us as He made us: with diverse gifts, interests, and skills. Then God
gives the Spirit to bring unity in the diversity. We don¡¦t all look alike, but
we are all His, and are one in the bonds of love (v.16). We want to develop into the
likeness of Christ.
