Ephesians 4
7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore He says:
“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”
From my commentary:
“One may picture a military leader returning to Jerusalem at the head of his followers, after routing an enemy army and taking many prisoners.”
Grace was given: We all have grace given to us according to the measure of Jesus’ gift. This is basis for God’s distribution of spiritual gifts through His church: grace, the free, unmerited giving of God. No one deserves or has earned spiritual gifts.
I read this and think, grace was a battle victory that was divided up amongst God’s people.
What do you think?
