You've never met anyone like Jesus

In this story we see ways that Jesus is so gracious to us. Here, he fed the people with 2 loaves and a few fish, that did not even belong to him. And they picked up more leftovers than they started with.

Jesus is just incredible. He takes something so mundane as being obedient and total changes it into a life giving act. 

Jesus is just incredible!

His stories are the best, and they reveal someone to us that we really want to get to know. In this story, we see that Jesus is the beloved son, and that the enemy tries to steal that from him, just like he tries to steal our identity from us.

Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. But unlike typical kings, Jesus was born to commoners and born in a barn. 

Have you ever seen a king like this?

Jesus has given us a new identity, and all of the spiritual blessings that come with it.

Now we find ourselves in a world at war, evil has schemes for all of us. What are we to do?

Stand Our Ground

As we near the conclusion of our reading of the Book of Ephesians, Paul has some closing remarks that are very important.

We are to be strong in the Lord.

The life we are living in the Kingdom requires much from us, we must be strong!

Because we have a new identity in Christ, everything about us changed, including our relationships. The Love of Jesus permeates everything about us. 

Jesus impacts every part of our lives, even our marriages. He has something to say on how we live together.

Do you have the courage to live this way? It is the only way to life and freedom and joy!

Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ

There are all sorts of things you can give yourself to, and let them control you.

Choose wisely, be filled with the Spirit, and let Him lead you.
