A View from the Pew
Learning to trust
in Paul’s words
about the Spirit
T
here are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the
same Spirit; there are different forms of service
but the same Lord; there are different workings
but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit
is given for some benefit.
As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the
parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also
Christ.
For in one Spirit we were
all baptized into one body,
whether Jews or Greeks,
slaves or free persons, and
we were all given to drink
of one Spirit. (1 Cor. 12:47,12-13)
This Sunday, the Church
celebrates Pentecost — the
coming of the Holy Spirit
upon the apostles as Jesus
promised before his ascension into Heaven. As you
might expect, the readings
concern the nature and
ELLEN SARGENT
power of the Spirit. The
passage above, from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians,
is probably familiar. In it, he uses the image of the human
body to portray the Church, God’s people. The idea of the
church as Christ’s body, present today and working to
bring the kingdom is a common theme in Christian teaching. There’s one line in the passage though that I think
bears closer examination; “To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” Each individual. That means you, that means me. The body of
Christ is made up of individuals, unique creations of God.
I would believe then that the Holy Spirit works in our
lives uniquely as well.
According to Merriam-Webster, a manifestation is: 1. A
sign that shows something clearly or, 2. One of the forms
that something has when it appears or occurs. Paul tells
us that at baptism we become part of one body but with
the Holy Spirit working in us individually. I don’t know
about you, but there are days when the “sign that shows
something clearly” part doesn’t seem to be working. The
appearing and occurring thing seems out of reach some
days as well. I would love to know exactly what part I am
to play in bringing the kingdom. It would be great if every morning there was an e-mail, or maybe a text, from
the Holy Spirit telling me my Body of Christ assignment
for the day. Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen that way.
Although there have been times in my life when I have
very clearly felt that God was leading me in a certain direction or requiring a specific action those periods seem
to be the “mountain top” moments; awe inspiring, but
rare. I spend most of the time in the valley just plodding
along the path, trying to enjoy the scenery as I go.
I think what’s important to remember is the Spirit is
with me as I plod along, if every day I pray for guidance
then I must believe that I am being guided. I try to be
open to that guidance. Maybe there’s going to be a little
nudging today to make an extra effort on something.
Maybe someone I haven’t thought of in years will pop into my mind randomly. For a while now, I’ve been using
that opportunity to say a small prayer for them. What are
they in need of that I am praying for? No clue. But that’s
the whole point I think. We are a part, not the whole. We
can only pray, trust, and believe in the words of Paul that
the Spirit is manifesting in us for “some benefit,” even if
we don’t always understand what that might be.
God Bless.

T
he Creator gave the seagull wings to fly, the most exactly
engineered beak with which to eat, and feet designed for sand or
water; He didn’t leave out anything. We are as significant as the
gull; God certainly gives us all we need. But we humans seem to
worry a lot. Why worry? Why not let God be in control? He takes
care of all His creatures. Visit your house of worship and learn more
about the Creator who takes care of us.
