Page 93 - Ephesians
P. 93

Paul shows us two ways, in these eleven verses, on the “how”.
        The first is this, “Least of all the saints”.  The second is verse
        10.  It’s one of the most unusual and wonderful passages in the
        whole book of Ephesians.  It’s so wonderful, you scarcely believe
        it,


        “In order that the manifold wisdom of God might now be
        made known through the Church to the rulers and authorities
        in heavenly places.”


         Ask ten Christians if they believe this, and I doubt if you’ll find
        one who really does.  How rare it is to find Christians, who live in
        the thrill of it.  Let me give you the heart of it and then try to get it
        into your heart.


        This verse reveals a tremendous fact.  The lives of Christians in
        union with Christ, demonstrate God’s truth to angels.  I don’t
        understand Ephesians 3:10.  I have never met a Christian that
        does.  God is instructing His angels, through the Church, through
        Christians.  As you live your life day by day, and struggle through
        your problems, seeking to please and honor Him.  Offering the
        littleness of your capacity and ability, you are a “theatre”.  You
        are on display.  The angels of God, not as indifferent spectators,
        but as hungry students, are watching and observing you?
        According to the Greek word here, they are learning the,  “Multi-
        faceted, multi- colored,  fully diversified, infinitely creative,

        manifest and manifold…… Wisdom of God.”

        Angels are more intelligent and powerful than men.  I read this in
        a science book, “The average eye can differentiate between a half
        million different colors.”  I didn’t know there were a half million
        colors!  It’s amazing what our eyes can take in.  I stood on Mt.
        Washington, New Hampshire, at 6,288 feet above sea level.  I
        don’t think I’ve ever seen such scenery as I saw that day.  It was
        tremendous! It was majestic and breathtaking.  What must an
        angel’s eye see?
