Ephesians 1:3 Spiritual Blessings in Christ

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV)  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 

Blessings from the Father through the Son furnishes the divine formula for spiritual blessings. It was the Father who sent the Son to enter human history for our redemption. Through the merits of the Son, what Christ has accomplished by His sinless life and His sacrificial death on our behalf upon the cross, procured our spiritual blessings.

After Christ’s resurrection of the dead three days later, He appeared for 40 days to His disciples before ascending to heaven to be enthroned at the right hand of the Father as our Great High Priest.

Christ represents us before the Father to procure the answer to our every prayer. Praise God for the unceasing intercession of Christ on our behalf before the Father. Let us contemplate and meditate upon our great privilege as God’s children. Amen.
