Ephesians 4:2 “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” A Christian could feel–I am great. I am a child of God. I am blessed abundantly. I will spend eternity in heaven. All the rest of you–good luck. That Christian mentality is not at all Christian. A Christian is humble and gentle and patient and shows love even as God, our Great Teacher, shows love. Never elevate yourself or the power on the elevator will fail and a crash is the only result.

Ephesians 4:1 “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” We don’t usually think that being a prisoner is a good thing. But, Paul informs us that being a prisoner is not only good, it is a fantastic blessing. To be locked together with our Heavenly Father is a treasured way to live. You and I have received a special call from our God and in that call He invites us to be His children, heirs to all the blessings He so generously provides. Enjoy your life as a prisoner!
