After a standard greeting to the church at Ephesus, Paul seems to overflow with joy and thanksgiving over the rich blessings of God offered to the believer through the gospel. The entire passage seems to effervesce with gratitude and jubilant praise. Notice, too, how much of this is centered on Christ and on God the Father. God is the main actor of the passage; in other words, it is God’s work for God’s glory. We’ll hear the phrase “in Him” repeatedly, and three members of the triune Godhead are present. This God of power, glory, and honor has subjected everything under Christ’s feet, and has appointed Christ as head over everything for the church.
