1 1-2 I, Paul, am under God’s plan as an apostle, a special agent of Christ Jesus, writing to you faithful believers in Ephesus.
This is WAY off in left field....not even the subject of the chapter. But, I love how the first line goes. Paul is living to God's perspective. A "special agent of Jesus." Special agents work to a higher mission than anyone else knows about. Special agents have unique abilities that they use for their missions. They have privileges granted to them by their leadership. Its a cool idea of how to look at our lives as Christ followers. It makes me feel unique and necessary.

, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
ReplyDeleteI think its impossible for me to get my head around the fact that I have a direct line to THE God of the universe. It tells us right here, the same one who raised Jesus and all his power is there for all of us who believe. For me its a mind bender and blower! In the entire universe we can be his special agents--whoa.
