Judges 1-3 and 1 Cor 12

MARCH 27, 2018  You are a Part of God’s Symphony

Judges 1 - 3 and I Corinthians 12 

You have a part to play.  You have your own note to add to God’s great symphony.  He’s composing the most beautiful symphony the world has ever known. It is a song of deliverance, freedom and love, and you have a part to play.  You get to add your sound to God’s amazing symphony.  

We actually get the word personality from the latin word, persona - meaning, literally ‘your sound’. God has created you to make a specific sound, and he wants you to add your sound to his great song.    God tells us in Ephesians 2:10:

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

You are his poema - his poem, his masterpiece.  And God has expertly crafted you to be right in the place where you are - to be who you are - to the Glory of God.  The gift we have in Christ is the power and freedom to play our part, to the glory of God. 

Saint Irenaeus, living in the second century said, The glory of God is man fully alive.  And Paul wants to challenge all of us, together, as the Body of Christ, to play our part - to do what Christ has created us to do. Because of Christ living in us now, we actually can!  Before, we couldn’t. We were trapped. But now we are set free by his Spirit living in us.  He enables us to live out our destiny in Christ, to play our part, to make our sound. We can add our note to that amazing symphony that God is crafting through history.  And it is all to the glory of Him.

Play your part.  Add your note. Do it with all your heart and soul. 

You are loved!
