Each A Part Of The Whole! August 8, 2013 – Ephesians 1 Return to Admenu Home Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully continue our Feast reading Ephesians 1.  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. Jesus is calling!” He won’t call forever, now is the time to answer his call.

The Feast Thursday, August 8, 2013, Ephesians 1 – “A salutation, and an account of saving blessings, as prepared in God's eternal election, as purchased by Christ's blood. (1-8) And as conveyed in effectual calling: this is applied to the believing Jews, and to the believing Gentiles. (9-14) The apostle thanks God for their faith and love, and prays for the continuance of their knowledge and hope, with respect to the heavenly inheritance, and to God's powerful working in them.
