Let the Waters Swarm & Birds Fly

On the fifth day of creation, God filled the seas and skies with living creatures that swam below and flew above. These breathing souls were blessed and commanded by God to be fruitful and multiply. Even the great sea monsters that the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, and Canaanites saw as rival gods were actually creatures under the sovereignty of Yahweh. In Genesis, the themes of blessing, multiplication, and fruitfulness that begin on the 5th day with God's first living creatures continue through His image bearers (Gen. 1:28), His faithful (Gen. 9:1), His people (Gen. 22:17), His nation (Gen. 28:1-3), and His tribes (Gen. 49:28). Blessing was not just for the fish and birds. It finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, whose miracle on the hillside of Bethsaida was not His first time multiplying two fish. And at the last supper, we again see blessing (in giving thanks), multiplication (in the breaking of bread), and fruitfulness (in the cup). In the church, we see multiplication at Pentecost and fruitfulness as churches are planted and grow. And in the kingdom, we see multiplication as disciples are made 30, 60, and 100-fold, and fruitfulness as true believers live full of the fruits of the Spirit.

Members of the Body Serving its Needs

As the first church in the New Testament grew, a major problem arose when certain widows who depended on the church were being neglected in the distribution. The twelve apostles, acting as the first elders of Jerusalem were made aware of the problem, but instead of attending it themselves, petitioned the congregation to choose 7 men who they could appoint to the duty, so that they could devote themselves more fully to prayer and the ministry of the word. Though the role of deacons morphed into priests in training, or the group who "ran" the church, or leaders of ministries, originally they were groups of servants appointed to care for the needs of the church so that the elders would not have to give up their primary service of preaching.
