Today is Wednesday, September 8th, 2021; Karen's Korner #4523

As most Karen's Korners readers know, I am a Bible reader; going from one book to another. Not necessarily in any order.

I am just embarking on the book of Ephesians. One of the paragraphs of introduction tells:

"After a warm greeting (1:1,2), Paul (writer) affirms the nature of the church  -- the glorious fact that believers in Christ have been showered with God's kindness (1:3-8), chosen for greatness (1:9-12), marked by the Holy Spirit (1:12,14); filled with his power (1:15-23), freed from sin's curse and bondage (2:1-10), and brought near to God (2:11-19). As part of God's house, we stand with the prophets, apostles, Jews, Gentiles, and Christ himself (2:20-3:11. Then as though overcome by emotions by remembering all that God has done, Paul challenges them (us!) to live close to Christ---breaking into spontaneous praise (3:12-21)."
