Jesus is serving the church from heaven by giving gifts to equip believers for works of service. He gives himself through salvation, the Holy Spirit to be with believers, spiritual gifts to each person, and people as gifts to the church. The purpose is to build up the body of Christ and bring unity in faith until believers reach spiritual maturity in Christ. Jesus remains actively involved with and committed to the growth and strengthening of the church.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

3. EPHESIANS 4:1-16
1
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge
you to live a life worthy of the calling you
have received. 2
Be completely humble
and gentle; be patient, bearing with one
another in love. 3
Make every effort to
keep the unity of the Spirit through the
bond of peace.
4. EPHESIANS 4:1-16
4
There is one body and one Spirit, just as
you were called to one hope when you
were called; 5
one Lord, one faith, one
baptism; 6
one God and Father of all, who
is over all and through all and in all. 7
But
to each one of us grace has been given
as Christ apportioned it.

8
This is why it says: “When he ascended
on high, he took many captives and gave
gifts to his people.” 9
(What does “he
ascended” mean except that he also
descended to the lower, earthly regions?
6. EPHESIANS 4:1-16
10
He who descended is the very one who
ascended higher than all the heavens, in
order to fill the whole universe.) 11
So
Christ himself gave the apostles, the
prophets, the evangelists, the pastors
and teachers,
7. EPHESIANS 4:1-16
12
to equip his people for works of service,
so that the body of Christ may be built up
13
until we all reach unity in the faith and in
the knowledge of the Son of God and
become mature, attaining to the whole
measure of the fullness of Christ.
8. EPHESIANS 4:1-16
14
Then we will no longer be infants,
tossed back and forth by the waves, and
blown here and there by every wind of
teaching and by the cunning and
craftiness of people in their deceitful
scheming.
9. EPHESIANS 4:1-16
15
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we
will grow to become in every respect the
mature body of him who is the head, that
is, Christ. 16
From him the whole body,
joined and held together by every
supporting ligament, grows and builds
itself up in love, as each part does its
work.
