| June 17th | Reading 169 of 366 | EVENING | PAULINE EPISTLES BOOK 49 of 66 | EPHESIANS 2 |
Signpost Words | ‘THE MYSTERY REVEALED’
Highlight Verses | Ephesians 2:19-22
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. NKJV
Some Observations |
We are equal citizens of the commonwealth of Israel, with all rights and privileges. This commonwealth is something new, something never seen before, even a spiritual temple of living stones. The handwriting against us, the right judgement of the law against both Jew and Gentile, has been rubbed out and obliterated by the blood of the cross, upon whose arm stretching beams we have also been reconciled to the Father and to one another, through which our hearts have become circumcised to mark us forever as the people of God, where God dwells triumphantly and gloriously through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who in turn pulsates with light and effulgent happiness at the core of this new city, the new Jerusalem of which we are all both dwelling in and are become an integral part.
A Call To Action |
The church is a mystery revealed, yet for most Christians it continues to remain a deep spiritual mystery! Yet, we Christians are all friends with God and are formed as His family, and by Christ are fitted together in mutual and commonwealth beneficence. We need to this out by putting Saints First & Church First. Let us love one another.
