We use the term "gifted" to label those with special talents. To be labeled "gifted" at school will get one put in all sorts of enrichment classes, although only certain types of gifts impress school systems or society. Gifts in academics and athletics will serve you well in school and culture. Gifts for compassion and empathy probably less so. In a similar fashion, the Christians at Corinth valued some spiritual gifts over others, and we often do the same in the church today. But the Apostle Paul insists that gifts are allotted to every Christian by the Spirit in a way that works together for the "common good." Each gift is indispensable, and all must share their gifts for the church to be the body of Christ.
