Ephesians 3:14-21

Last night the Bible study group was down to 3 people. One of the realities of ministering to "seasoned" saints is health issues. This accounted for the absentees. After praying together we spent a lot of time reviewing the previous week's passages before moving to new material. We looked at the significance of naming. Note that one of the first things that God has Adam do was to name the animals, an exercise of authority. (Genesis 1:19-20) It is instructive that own name, perhaps the most personal thing about us, was given by others. Then in verse 16 Paul launches into his 2nd prayer for the Ephesians. Note the importance of faith and love. Finally Paul concludes the passage with praise and the truth that God can do immeasurably more than anything we can ask or think so that He be glorified forever through Jesus and the Church.
