New Testament Reading: Eph 1
First, I need to apologize, because I posted the wrong New Testament reading yesterday. The second reading should have been Psalms 72. I'm sure you caught the error! Anyway today we get to start reading Ephesians.
Yesterday I asked for posts of the "meatiest" texts from Ephesians, so today I'll post the text from the first chapter that I thought was meaningful.
Eph 1: 4 - 8
For he chose us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will--to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
I thought this was particularly meaningful because it openly and powerfully states what it seems like we all know (or have been told, or think we know), but don't ever really say. I think it's a reminder of all of the things God has done for us, through his son.
