Ephesians 1:15 – 19 • Series: Ten Things I Can Give You/ A Study in Ephesians • June 20, 2010
So Paul’s looking at the whole picture – the big sky – and it’s a thing of wonder for him. You can almost hear him whispering to himself in chapter 5: “Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her. Look at what God has done. Look at the Church. Look at her!” Without seeing that, you will only pray for people you like, for people who do you good. Without seeing that, you won’t have any appetite to pray because there’s no real excitement in praying for yourself and your own plans. No, pray for others that God’s purposes will be fulfilled for them to God’s glory.”
