Ephesians 1:8-11, The fullness of Christ

Some things just can’t be appreciated until they are finished. Take for instance home improvement projects. I love to watch home improvement/flip project shows on television. At any given time you can look at the project and say this is just a big mess and no way it is going to turn out being okay but by the end of the show when they do the big reveal your mind is blown at how awesome it turned out. Early pics gave you a glimpse of the project while it was still in progress, but the final view allows you to view the project in its fullness after completion. The world in which we live is a lot like a home improvement show, if you look at it now you think this is mess and there is no way it is going to turn out ok. That is because we aren’t looking at it in its fullness and Paul tells us that in verse 10 that the finished product will look a lot different. It says, “when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.”

Right now, our world is ruled by chaos as mans selfish desires has driven our fallen world into rebellion against God. Things are not functioning as they were intended to function, and things don’t look as they was designed by the Creator but one day the entire earth will reach it fulfillment. One day all things will be under the authority of Jesus Christ as he restores harmony to our chaotic existence. It is not a question of if but instead a question of when this will happen. Jesus Christ will return and establish His Kingdom on this earth by ending the rebellion of mankind. We have an opportunity to avoid the wrath of God coming by choosing to align ourselves with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords now before His return. Scripture is clear every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. We hope and pray that you choose today, to make Jesus the Lord of your life before it is too late.
