1 Corinthians 12:4-11
God has uniquely gifted us to serve Him.
VIDEO Clip - The
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Magical Gifts – Length 3:10
Upon agreeing to make this journey together, Galadriel,
one of the most powerful Elf guardians comes to speak wisdom and encouragement.
In addition, according to her wisdom and foresight, she provides magical gifts
for each member of the company, specific to their person, abilities, needs and
tasks.
·
The leader (and future Middle Earth King) Aragorn,
already possessed an Elvish stone given to him by the woman he loved; Galadriel
said she had no greater gift.
·
The small hobbits, Merry and Pippin, strangers
to danger, each received a dagger that had seen war, with the promise from
Galadriel they would also find their courage.
·
Legolas, the Elf warrior, receives a bow strung
with Elf hair and a quiver of arrows, worthy of his skill.
·
Sam, hobbit and best friend of ring-bearer
Frodo, received a bundle of Elvish rope.
·
Frodo, the small and humble hobbit, received
what was known as the light of Earendil, a bottle possessing the light of the
brightest star in the skies of the Elves.
·
Gimli, a disgruntled dwarf, asks only to look
upon her beauty once more before the journey and for a strand of her golden
hair. She gives him three.
Only after watching the entire series can one completely
understand the uses and significance of each gift to each member.
