[Linux4christians] ‭Ephesians 6:21-24 (Saturday)

[Pastor David]

*‭Ephesians 6:21-24 (Saturday)*

*‭Commentary*

Paul concludes with a letter-of-introduction for Tychicus 
and a blessing for all believers.‭  ‬He promises them a 
report of praise and of need ‬(for and from his ministry‭)‭ 
‬with the assurance that‭ ‬what they hear will‭ "‬...‭ 
‬encourage your hearts‭"‬.‭

He commends to them peace and love with faith from‭ "‬...‭ 
‬God the Father and the Lord‭ ‬Jesus Christ‭" ‬then reminds 
them that grace is with all‭ "‬...‭ ‬those who love our Lord 
Jesus‭ ‬Christ with an undying love.‭"

Paul's concluding words contain another believer-only 
qualification and a powerful word‭ ‬of encouragement,‭ his 
words of prayer (or perhaps "benediction" in this case)
are worth reading several times with prayerful reflection.

*Interaction*

*Consider* God's challenge - that we have peace and love 
with one another - as brothers and sisters in Christ.

*Discuss* Paul's challenge - does our faith flow from an 
undying love for Jesus that provides the grace we need‭?

*Reflect* upon your ‭thankfulness to God that, if you choose 
the path of faithful obedience, you have peace and love with 
your brothers and sisters in Christ; and ‬your faith flows 
from an undying love for Jesus Who provides the grace that 
you‭ ‬need.

*Share* an example of grace that flowed to you, or through 
you to another, as a result of your intentional love-
relationship with Jesus.

*Truth in Action*
	
Today I am ‭committing to pursue peace and love with a 
specific brother or ‬sister in Christ with whom that has 
been difficult,‭ ‬beginning in prayer and‭ ‬followed by 
communication and fellowship.  I will ask a fellow believer 
to pray in agreement with me for success in this reconciliation.

*Be Specific*  ________________________________________
