The problem in the Corinthian
church. to which these three chap
tiers turn our attention. was the
matter Of spiritual gifts Some
of the church members had some
rather spectacular gifts like work
ing mir "a cles or speaking with
tongues: others were good at adj.
nlnistrativc Jobs, and so on Ev-
erybody with special gift was in
cllned to look on his own as q mark
Of Gods favor. something that set
him a cut above" other Christians
All these people combined to de
spise the poor ordinary run-of-
mine Christian. who in Corinth as
in yonr own home church, had no
special gift at all, Coming out to
church once a week. and staying
awake, was about all that could
be expected Of him
Paul points out, in effect, that
every Christian has some gift OF
the Holy Spirit. Well what about
these church-goers who don't seem
70 have anything special about
them Paul would be asked mo
one can say Jesus is Lord except
by the Holy Spirit" Paul says.
Now that is the mark of all true
Christians, that they accept and
confess Jesus as their Lord. Every
child. every new member. from
the humhlest unskilled worker
right up 70 the President Of the
United States, On entering full
church membership is required to
acknowledge Jesus as Lord. Now
says Saint Paul whenever that is
said sincerely there is evidence

nay call this the Grace Of Believ-
lng. or the Grace Of Confession:
whatever you call il, il is gift

sor the Common Good

There are two wrong notions.
lmong others, about gifts Of the
Holy Spirit. against which Paul
cts the simple truth One Of these
otions IS that gifts Of the Holy
spirit arc bound to be something
sensational, miraculous. spectacu-
ar. On the contrary. the truth is
hat the Spirits presence is shown

sing Christ as Lord. or teaching.
or simply having faith The other
notion is that if have spiritual
gift. something supernatural. di-
rect from on high, that is a sign
II special favor to ME: that the
gift is mainly to benefit myself
On the contrary, Paul points out,
to each IS given the manifesto
ion Of the Spirit for the common
rood" That is the R.S.V. trans

Spirit is like money put into our
hands to be used for some good
