For Our Sake

August 4, 2024 | Ephesians 2.4-7 | Rob Collis

Throughout his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul is intent on opening our eyes to behold the depths and the riches of the love of God. He points to three specific things Jesus did in history to guarantee our salvation: Jesus was made alive; Jesus was raised up; and Jesus was seated at God’s right hand in the heavenly places. Jesus did all of this for our sake. But Paul says the good news go deeper still!

This week, Rob preaches from Ephesians 2.4-7, and helps us see how Paul is building and expanding our horizons to understand just how big and wonderful this salvation in Jesus really is. Because not only did Jesus resurrect, ascend, and take a seat – Paul is saying we’re involved in these matters, too. Because the Gospel is alive, and it’s not just about living forever in heaven after we die – it’s about being raised to the fullness of life together in Christ starting today, and continuing forever more.
