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?
