And Paul later tells us that although there are many gifts, there are also many different measures of how much God gives that gift. And all of this is grace. That word gift is connected here in this verse to grace. In other words, when you came to Christ, you didn't get to stand before Jesus and say, can I sign up for these three gifts, please? It didn't work that way. Jesus gave you the gift or the gifts that he decided, and in measure that he decided, which should then cause none of us to boast. We don't get to stand up and go, well, I've got the mouth gift in the body. I'm about a five out of a 10, and so look at how awesome I am.
