Jesus
is my "so then"...
Ephesians
2:19 starts off like this: "So then..."
We
might say, "Consequently..." (NIV)
Or,
we might say, "Now therefore..." (KJV)
What
happened? JESUS!
Hallelujah!
Jesus happened!
But
Jesus!
Verse
13 tells us we were a long ways away from God -- ALL of us -- but Jesus brings
us near. So then, understand your privilege, possession and position...
"So
then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with
the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the
whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the
Spirit." (Ephesians 2:19-22 ESV)
Understand
your privilege: You are God's, in Jesus and built on Jesus.
Understand
your position: You are part of God's house on earth; His holy temple; in Christ
and Christ in you.
Understand
your possession: God's Spirit lives in God's church on God's green earth. GOD
LIVES IN BELIEVERS!
"So
then..." because of Jesus, we are one blessed people!
Now,
operate in response to that blessing!
