“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”
Ephesians 1:3 KJV
Paul gives this wonderful revelation of the mystery of God. “Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!” In poetic articulation Paul unfolds the message of the mystery of Christ as representing mankind. He is absolutely passionate in his prayers and desires for everyone to see how completely associated they are in Christ. Paul sees heaven, not as a distant goal for us to strive towards, but how completely God has lavished upon us every blessing heaven has in Christ. This is a revelation to dwell upon and meditate on, so that we celebrate God’s amazing generosity even in our inner man! Amen!
