Title: Father's Election (2)
Series: Ephesians 1
Author: Stephen Whitney
Text: Ephesians 1:3-6
William Randolph Hearst became a wealthy newspaper publisher in the 1920's when he expanded his empire from Los Angeles to the east coast as he bought 28 different newspapers.
He owned newspapers in Chicago, Detroit, New York, Boston, and Washington D.C. One of papers was the Seattle P-I.
He used his wealth to built a castle as his home in California and invested a fortune in collecting European art treasures for his home. Some Greek vases he collected dated back to 800 B.C. He also bought rare oriental carpets, antique furniture, mantels and tapestries.
One day Mr. Hearst read a description of some valuable artwork that he felt he must own as part of his collection, so he sent his agent abroad to find the items and buy them for his estate.
After months of searching, the agent returned and reported to Mr. Hearst that he had finally found the treasures which he had requested. The reason it had taken him so long to locate the items was they were already in Mr. Hearst's warehouse!
Hearst had been trying to located treasures which he already owned. If he had read the catalog of is treasures, he would have saved himself a great deal of time and money.
Believers can be a lot like Randolph Hearst, they have all the spiritual riches of heaven available to them, but they don't know that they own them. God has put a vast amount of wealth into our lives to make us part of his family. We need to understand who we really are in Christ.
Paul opens his epistle with a hymn of praise for all that God has done for our salvation to show us how special we are to God.
BLESSED SPIRITUALLY :3
Paul begins with a beautiful concise statement that sums up how we have received all the spiritual blessings we enjoy.
All of our spiritual blessings come from the hand of God.
Blessed - Gk. honor or praise. Luke 1:68 At the birth of John the Baptist Zecha ...
