The measure

Ephesians 4:7 "But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift."

-

"Each one of us"

-

Writing to the church...the family of believers/trusters in Jesus, God's perfect solution to the sin separation issue...Paul has been communicating the magnificent love and plan of God...from and for eternity.

-

One of the most amazing aspects of that plan is the personal aspect.  God doesn't look only at nations and kingdoms, or at planets and stars.  His plan is an "each one of us" kind of plan.  Like a fine chef, preparing a gourmet dish, He measures out His grace...His touch...to bring out all of the flavor, all of the uniqueness of us as individual members of His family.  And He has done this not only that we should be fulfilled personally....He has done this to build up the entire body of Christ.

-

8 Therefore it says,

"When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,

    and he gave gifts to men."

......

12 "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ"

-

Immeasurable grace, measured to each one that, together, we would mature to the measure of the stature of Christ.
