Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” I am going to state a fault both you and I have—we think too small-way too small. We place limitations on God because of our own limitations. God has no limitations. Do we say we know that truth, yet we do not have the faith strong enough to believe it? Let God work with you in whatever it is you and He want for your life. Do not be afraid to ask for too much. Do not let your mind limit God and His blessing your life. Pray for a strong faith, wisdom, knowledge and whatever else you and God have going. Do not be shy. A happy, blessed—immeasurable blessed New Year.

Ephesians 3:19 “and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” The new year will bring changes— good times, sad times, opportunities, failures, successes—all the multitude of life’s life. Above all, for every Christian, the coming year will bring a deeper, richer, cherished, wonderful and blessed relation between you and your Heavenly Father. That is great news. That is the news which should dominate every New Year’s party. Can you imagine the joy of this coming year if that was the theme of life for 2022? God, help us live that theme for this coming wonderful year! We praise You and Thank you!

Ephesians 3:17b-18 “And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” I have to confess: I do not appreciate or understand or have the ability to convey the endless, infinite, ultimately faithful and outstanding meaning when God tells me He loves me. I would like to understand and be able to explain so you understand that enormous love which passes all understanding. If either you or I get into New Year resolutions could this understanding be one of those resolutions? If we try very hard at developing this thought will the end of 2022 show that you and I have solved our ability problem? Let’s live it and try to grasp it!

Ephesians 3:14-15 “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.” You and I belong to a much larger family than those you or I spent Christmas with. Every faith filled person on earth and in heaven is a member of this illusterous group. I do not know how many brothers and sisters we have, but the number is huge. We all live and die in awe, trying to understand the might, power, kindness and love of our Heavenly Father. Again how blessed we, His family, are.

Ephesians 3:17 “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” The celebrations of Christmas are not so we can all have dinner with each other or buy presents for one another or travel and see each other. The celebrations of Christmas are all because Jesus came to this earth, lived, died and rose so that you and I could have a relationship with God. Without Jesus you and I could not approach God. That would be devastating. With Jesus we easily approach God in total freedom. That is what the celebrations are all about.
