August 8, 2013 – Ephesians 1
Dear Saints,
Ephesians Overview; “This epistle was written when St.
Paul was a prisoner at Rome. The design appears to be to strengthen the
Ephesians in the faith of Christ, and to give exalted views of the love of
God, and of the dignity and excellence of Christ, fortifying their minds
against the scandal of the cross. He shows that they were saved by grace, and
that however wretched they once were, they now had equal privileges with the
Jews. He encourages them to persevere in their Christian calling, and urges
them to walk in a manner becoming their profession, faithfully discharging
the general and common duties of religion, and the special duties of
particular relations.” - Matthew Henry Concise
Paul greets the Ephesians with a reminder
that they were saved by the blood of Jesus.
This sacrifice made the Jew and Gentile one in Jesus. Paul thanks God
for their confidence and salvation in the name of Jesus. “20 that he worked in Christ
when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the
heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion,
and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one
to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over
all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills
all in all.” Ephesians 1:20-23 ESV. Saints remember we are all parts of the same
body in Jesus. Each dependent on the
other. “For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the
humble with salvation.”
Psalm 149:4 ESV. Jesus has blessed us all with redemption.

“14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule,
peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.”
Galatians 6:14-16 ESV.
