Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Christ's Gifted People

First, whereas in the OT the Spirit gifted only prophets, priests, and kings, in the new age all of Christ’s people are gifted by the Spirit because they are ‘in’ Jesus, the ultimate prophet, priest, and king. Second, whereas in the OT the Spirit often gifted prophets, priests, and kings in some connection to the temple, in the new age all of Christ’s people employ their gifts in service in the temple because they are all ‘in’ Jesus, the true temple.
