Christ in Ephesians


  1. In Christ and under Him all the objects of God's redeeming love are to be united in one harmonious whole. (i. 10.)
  2. In Him we have eternal life, or are made the heirs of God. (i. 11-14.)
  3. He is exalted above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, i.e., above all rational creatures. (i. 21.)
  4. In Him we are quickened, or raised from the death of sin, made partakers of spiritual life, and exalted to heaven. (ii. 1-6.)
  5. In iii. 9, God is said to have created all things by Jesus Christ.
  6. He fills the universe. (i. 23, and iv. 10.)
  7. He is the head of the Church, from whom it derives its life. (iv. 16.)
  8. He sanctifies the Church. (v. 26.)
  9. 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.)
