Not All Men - Matthew 19:10-12

Matthew 19:10-12 NASB 
The disciples *said to Him, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.” But He said to them, “ Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”

Different people have different gifts. We have different strengths and weaknesses, yet we are part of the single body of Christ. 

Within the purpose of the creation of man is the splendor of variation and wonder that is each person. The creative impulse from God is infinite. 

The Lord has given us life and calls us to life. 
We respond with who we are. God takes that unformed clay and fashions a work of art. 

Comparing that artwork piece by piece distracts from the comprehension of the new creation. Stepping back allows us to see more of how the whole works together. I think we will be pleased. 


1 Corinthians 7:17
 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches.
