Contemplative Bible Reading

Ephesians 2:6-7 (New Living Translation)

6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. 7 So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.

Do you want to see “incredible wealth?”

Look in a mirror.

I don’t have to watch “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” or “Extreme RVs” or anything like that. I just look in the dingy mirror of my poorly lit bathroom.

Christians are examples of the incredible wealth of God’s grace and kindness. WHOA! Let that sink in. We’re all incredible wealth walking around. Look about us: see all that incredible wealth? In the right setting, we’re surrounded with incredible wealth.

Thanks be to God.
