We are taught the gifts, all of them, Rom 12, 1 Cor 12 inclusive, are to be used,
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Eph 4:12, 13
along with
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, Rom 8:29
so then the Church, as one single Body is to become or manifest the character of our Lord.
Then here is what I don't understand, ...when or where in the Gospel accounts do we find Jesus acting in this manner?
