In part 6 of this series on the book of Ephesians, Tim looks at Ephesians chapter 4. This chapter introduces us to the governmental, or ruling offices in the Body of Christ - often referred to as the “5-fold” giftings. The purpose of these giftings is less about running an organisation, and more about bring us to maturity in love so that we fully represent Christ to each other and to the world. They are a healthy parental motif rather than a political power motif. To the extent we resist these offices in our life, we will stay immature and fall short of the fullness of Christ we are created for.
