So what's the lesson for us today? Harkening back to the beginning of this letter, there is a marvelous mystery: God's grace which draws us all together as one. The gospel message flows from the love of the Holy Spirit and the grace of God that we experience through Him. This means that our responsibility as members of the ekklesia is living humbly and in unity under the power of the indwelling Spirit. In other words, the Holy Spirit fills us and enables us to live a life of love, creating a church where everyone is willing to serve rather than be served.
