Ephesians 3

Verse 6 expands on what I spoke about yesterday, it says, “This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.” Because of Jesus Christ, we are included as heirs to God’s kingdom! Wow, what a message! To think that, if it wasn’t for Jesus, we would not even be able to be covered under the old laws and covenants, much less the new. That is, without Jesus, there was no hope for the world outside Israel.

But now, through Jesus Christ, everyone has hope. He died for all of us, so we may be saved! Verse 12 “In him (Jesus) and through faith in him (Jesus) we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” Because of Jesus’ sacrifice and our faith in Jesus, everyone (Jew & Gentile alike) can approach the Father “with freedom and confidence”. No longer is anyone bound to a once a year atonement, to go through a mediator such as a high priest to speak with God, now, because of Jesus Christ, we can speak directly to God!

Thank you God for providing me a way to salvation, thank you for sacrificing Your Son Jesus that I may be saved from eternal death and that I may converse directly with You. I thank you sweet Jesus for loving me enough to stay on the cross and die for my sins, that I may be forgiven and allowed into the glorious kingdom of Heaven. I am not worthy of Your love, but I am thankful that You, dear Jesus, found me worthy enough to sacrifice yourself for me. May I spread your message to those who need it and bring you glory, dear Jesus, through my daily walk with you.
