Hearts Flooded with Light Ephesians 1:15-23

Pause for thought

Wisdom and revelation have a dual purpose they help us as we grow in our knowledge of Jesus Christ and in understanding Gods power and purpose in our lives, the Holy Spirit is the source of both 1:17-18, Colossians 1:9

Revelation is never to be thought of as “mystical” this was how the Gnostics acted when they claimed special or secret revelation knowledge that only the initiated could understand. The Holy Spirit does indeed give us revelation as these verses show. But these insights should never be considered equal to the Holy Scriptures 1:17-19, 2 Peter 1:19

Jesus Christ is seated in the heavenly realms “far above” every power, ruler, authority, and every principality, this refers to the unseen defeated enemies who continue to manipulate human behaviour on this earth. Because we are in Christ we also share in Christ’s authority over these powers 1:20-21, 6:12

Jesus Christ is the head of His body the church that is the physical presence of Jesus Christ He fills His church with gifts and blessings. We must ask ourselves are we fully expressing Him who himself fills everything

Memory verse

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future He has promised to those He called. I want you to realise what a rich and glorious inheritance He has given to His people Ephesians 1: 18 N.L.T.
