Christ in Ephesians
- In Christ and under Him all the objects of God's redeeming love are to be united in one harmonious whole. (i. 10.)
- In Him we have eternal life, or are made the heirs of God. (i. 11-14.)
- He is exalted above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, i.e., above all rational creatures. (i. 21.)
- In Him we are quickened, or raised from the death of sin, made partakers of spiritual life, and exalted to heaven. (ii. 1-6.)
- In iii. 9, God is said to have created all things by Jesus Christ.
- He fills the universe. (i. 23, and iv. 10.)
- He is the head of the Church, from whom it derives its life. (iv. 16.)
- He sanctifies the Church. (v. 26.)
- The discharge of all social duties is enforced by the consideration of the authority of Christ. We are to serve men as doing service to Him. (vi. 1-9.)
