It’s All From Jesus: A Bible Verse Study
Last Sunday, I started reading through Ephesians, and one thing I noticed in the preface to the book in my study Bible was the mention of the words “in Him” or “in Christ” in the book. And, since I absolutely love discovering (or rediscovering!) patterns in the Bible, I though it would be fun to copy all the instances out. They were a great encouragement to me to meditate on this week, and perhaps they will be to you, too.
Due to the amount of verses (I just counted up, and there are 33 references!), I’ve limited the quotations to just the ones dealing specifically with our relationship with Christ.
There’s still a lot, though. 🙂
“…blessed us with all spiritual blessings…in Christ…” (Eph. 1:3)
Monday Inspiration: Two Quotes
First, this “quote-of-the-month” for me:
“Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.” — Corrie ten Boom
And this verse I wrote up and have tacked on the cork board next to my desk:
“Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.” — Acts 2:28
