Then said Jesus said . . . All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. . . . I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. . . . And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. . . . But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me ~ John 10:7-27
This passage of Scripture gives the secret to the unity of the Church. “Them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” Precious few verses of Scripture tell you how God will answer the prayer of Jesus that you will all be one.
Another Scripture in Ephesians 4:11-13 tells you this:
And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ. ~ Ephesians 4:11-13
This passage of Scripture explains what God is doing and how He is doing it. It shows you what you need to complete the work. What is that work? Read carefully and understand God’s process. Saints, believers, you and me, are being equipped so we can minister or serve effectively to build up the body of Christ. As the body of Christ builds itself up in love, you see it reaching unity in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God. Then, the body of Christ matures.
King James Version says it matures to a perfect (that is, a completely mature) man. It doesn’t say mature men and women, but the unity is so complete the body of Christ functions as a single person. And finally, it matures. It comes to the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ. Every member of the body of Christ will have Christ fully formed within. This requires that each member listens closely to the leading of the Holy Spirit and yields to the righteousness of the Holy Spirit. As each member listens to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit will give the ability to discern the body of Christ. That submission to the grace of God and the righteousness of grace allows the Holy Spirit to plant the Seed of the Word (Christ) into the heart of each member. That’s how Christ is formed within.
Each will be in his or her place of ministry in total submission to the Head, Christ in Heaven. Each one will be joined to Christ. The body of Christ will move in perfect unity. This body will fulfill the Biblical order for the body of Christ. God is, even now, restoring His church from faith to faith and from glory to glory.
This is God’s endgame. This is the vision of the hope of what God is doing. This is your destiny and only place of satisfaction, peace, and fulfillment. And you and I can take part in it if we’re willing.
