Ephesians Part 33 (Wonderful Work of Salvation)

INTRO: This will be the last message in Ephesians for some time. If we get into chapter 2 someday the first message will have to be titled, “The Mystery of The Missing Verb.” As we come to the close of this first chapter I must confess I did not know how packed full of spiritual information this little book is. When I consider the content of this letter and the fact that the Apostle Paul taught here for only two years I am overwhelmed by the truths he must have communicated in that short time. I can hardly fathom a teacher writing material of this depth and this loaded with intricate truth to those with whom he has been for only two years. It is very obvious that Paul takes many things for granted as he writes this letter and the only ground for that must be that which he expects them to know from his teaching.

Now this morning we are considering the second of two things that are the outcome of God's power. In our last message we considered the words, “And He put all things under His feet...” I proposed to you that this is a positional statement and that at this time not yet all things are put under His feet.

So the first event as an outcome of God's power was that God put all things under Christ's feet. The second, which we want to look at this morning, is that God gave Him to be head over all things to the Church.
