Ephesians 3 · Grade 4

Able to Do Exceedingly Abundantly

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul writes, I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles. God had made known to him a mystery. In earlier times it was hidden. Now it was revealed: that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News.

Paul is amazed that God chose him. To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. Unsearchable means too great to measure. Through the church, God shows His wisdom even to powers in the heavenly places. In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

Then Paul prays: For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father. He asks God to strengthen them by His Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith. He wants them to be rooted and grounded in love. He prays that they will understand the width and length and height and depth of Christ's love. He ends with praise to God, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
