More Than Words

Actions speak louder than words.  Paul has written a lot of powerful words in his letter to the Ephesians, but he knows the mere words will not "get the job done."  He wants his brothers and sisters in Christ to experience the love of God found in Jesus.  So, he changes his posture - I bow my knees before the Father.  He asks that the Creator of the World drive home one simple, but life changing fact - Jesus loves you.  Paul prays that we may have power together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge.  Did you catch that?  Paul prays we may know a love that surpasses the ability to know.  Supernatural love.  Love that was displayed on the Cross for us and now promises to awaken us from the dead, open our blind eyes and seal us for Heaven.  

May what Paul prays become an experiential reality for us all each and every day and may we be a people who pray this prayer for each other!

See you Sunday,
