Ephesians 1:1-14
As I read Ephesians 1:1-14 all I could think was Wow, there's so much here to consider. Paul certainly doesn't waste any time jumping right in and telling us about salvation through Christ. Almost immediately he writes how God has "blessed us in Christ" (vs. 3). Then he spends the next eleven verses laying out all those blessings.
So what from this passage spoke to your heart today? And how will you use it going forward? For me it was "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us. . ." (vs. 7-8). These verses will help me be more tuned in and thankful about the incredible privilege of being "in Christ." I'll also use them as a prompter to share Christ whenever and wherever. OK, now it's your turn! Tami W.

Verse 12 spoke to me as I read this I want to be a light that reflects his glory so that others will praise him. and give him the glory and honor.
