Today's encouragement comes from Ephesians 3:21, where we read these words:
" . . . to Him [God] be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all genera-tions, forever and ever. Amen."God gets His greatest levels of glory in His Son Jesus through His elect and redeemed church—more than anywhere else. The reason for this, is because the forgiven souls (who make it up) are the recipients of the most amazing and marvelous grace. They are given the very best of heaven, even while they are here on the earth. And this most wonderful gift is that of the Son of God Himself.
Let us totally focus our spiritual eyes on Christ. As we do this, we will be the praise- and Spirit-filled church. Let us do all this by grace, through faith in Jesus alone.
[Puritan quote of the day: "If God brings any beginnings of grace to truth, the victory is already gotten.” —Jeremiah Burroughs, in, "The Ex-cellency of a Gracious Spirit"]
