It's All About Christ [Family Worship lesson in Ephesians 1:1–2]

What is Ephesians all about? Ephesians 1:1–2 prepares us for the morning sermon in public worship on the coming Lord’s Day. In these two verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Ephesians, and all of salvation, is all about the Lord Jesus Christ, and God’s glory in Him.

Throughout the epistle, every theme—from justification and the church’s unity to Christian living and spiritual warfare—flows from and points back to Christ, Who is the sovereign, ascended Lord and the ultimate object of faith, love, and worship. The entire letter functions as a divine invitation to live in continual dependence on Christ, whose glory is the purpose of creation and the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan.
