My daughter came to me yesterday and said, “I want an Ephesians Colouring Book.” She has a Psalms Colouring Book and assumed that there was one for every book of the Bible. The current sermon series at church has been from Ephesians. She has been reviewing this with her small group. She loves colouring and I figured this is a great way for her to get the Word deeper. So, I created Ephesians Colouring Pages.

Just like we are in a lockdown at this time. Paul was in a lockdown or maybe we should say locked in prison. Yet, from prison he writes to those at Ephesus encouraging them. Paul wrote so they could know how he was doing and that he might encourage them.

“So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. I have sent him to you for this purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.” Ephesians 6:21-22

Paul is in prison, alone with companions who come and visit. As you read through Ephesians, you will see that Paul’s focus is not where he is and how difficult things are for him but rather to praise God. That is a lesson for us at this time.

Ephesians is full of deep truths and beautiful words. As we have been discussing this in small groups, I have seen the descriptive words that Paul uses.

• “he lavished upon us” Ephesians 1:8
• “the riches of his glorious inheritance” Ephesians 1:18
• “But God, being rich in mercy,” Ephesians 2:4
• “to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ” Ephesians 3:8
• “and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19
• “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,” Ephesians 4:12
• “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Ephesians 5:1
• “Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 6:23

I have enjoyed our study, digging deep into all that Paul has written to the believers at Ephesus.

As we life during a difficult year, let us learn to know God more and praise him more. Remember the blessings that God has lavished on us.
