He Gave Gifts - Ephesians 4:4-8

Ephesians 4:4-8 ESV 


There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore it says,

“When he ascended on high he led a host  of captives,

and he gave gifts to men.”


Jesus came to the earth and released the captives that wished to be free and moved them into the kingdom of heaven, no longer to be slaves to sin. These will be known as the Bride of Christ, for we have become one in the body of Christ. We are joined together by the fusion of Spirit and flesh, as foreshadowed in the union of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. 


There is one body of Christ and one bride that will united in a holy and sacrosanct way. 


He gave us a gift, a wedding gift for all who would come.
