A message from the series "Sunday Service." In our lesson today I want to bring some encouragement from the story of the
Apostle Paul to his friends at Ephesus. As Brother Keith “Called Out the Called” two
weeks ago (using the calling of Moses as his text), I want to piggy-back on that to
emphasize that we are ALL called (and GIFTED) to do something! We are all
ministers together in some capacity. Each one of us has some gift that Christ has
given us for the benefit of each other! Together! Paul emphasizes that together the
believers all became one in Christ, and as the body of Christ they were living in the
story of God.
Have you ever wondered why Jesus describes His followers as sheep? Why didn´t he choose something more dignified, like eagles, lions, beautiful peacocks or even dolphins? While to some this may seem like a pointless question, if we take the time to understand sheep it becomes very clear why He chose to describe us as sheep and Himself as the Good Shepherd.
