Scripture: Ephesians 3: 12, 20-21
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. (12) Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (20-21)
Scripture Commentary:
Paul was under house arrest when he wrote to the church of Ephesus. The letter to the Ephesians encourages them, and us, as the living body of Jesus on earth. Through faith, we can approach God. Overcome by emotion, Paul remembers all that God has done and challenges the Ephesians, and us, to live a Christ-like life.
Where would you be right now if not for the love of Christ?
Because Paul preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, which he was jailed for, today we can read and learn about Our Lord and Savior. Paul endured the pain of persecution to bring new believers to Christ.
Following and obeying Jesus is never easy.
Jesus tells us to take up His cross and follow Him. Are you willing to endure pain so that God’s message of salvation can reach the entire world?
We are blessed that others have suffered and sacrificed for us. The question is, “Are you a follower?”
