In the Christian era, men and women are restored to true equality. This was prophesied by Joel who wrote many centuries before, "I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy... Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days."1 In the new image of Jesus, there is no difference between men and women. Like Gentile and Jewish Christians "he made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith."2
Both males and females who become a part of the Body of Christ are transfigured into the image of Jesus. In the biological family, father and son, mother and daughter may bear physical likenesses. In the spiritual Body of Christ, disciples develop a likeness to their Lord as they mature in his image. "And we, who with unveiled faces, all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."3 What potential is there for developing your ministry to yourself?
