Ephesians Chapter 3

Good evening!

Today, I went to Lauriston Castle with a friend. We've been reading through Ephesians and are now on Chapter 3.

So far, Paul has been writing to the Ephesians in Ephesus, Firstly saying how much he is thinking of them and praying for them and their journey in Christ, and also reminding them of how great our God is, what he can do for us and basically highlighting to all ages, past and present how being a Christian has been made possible through Jesus and God's forgiveness of our sins.

Chapter 3 was continuing in this light; thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ, we can have a relationship with God and, what I got from it was that at the time, the barrier between the Gentiles and Jews had been overcome through Jesus.

This part made me think, but it rather confused me.

There was a great Prayer that Paul wrote that I'd like to include in this blog;

Ephesians 3: 14 - 20

"For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that you may be filled to the measure of all the fulness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen
