Tonight I’m going to give another little talk. This will be the second time I have done this during our Ephesians series. Because, as we hit a few different scriptures, I just feel compelled to stop and speak more specifically about the places we come from and how what we are reading relates to situations there. And so that is what we will be doing again today. I will read a text before I speak on the topic tonight. It is Ephesians chapter 5; I will read from verse 11 down to verse 15. And the apostle Paul writes:
11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
We are continuing our examination of the book of Ephesians today. We are in the fourth chapter, and we have finally reached the very end of the chapter. I will read starting at verse 31, and I will read into the first verses of chapter 5. I invite you to open your Bibles to follow along with me as I read. Ephesians chapter 4, verse 31:
31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
5 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
I feel a need to pause here and speak about a few things that are related. This is not part of the series on Ephesians. But our need to talk about this comes from passing through those verses. And, I think today I am going to tackle what you already have seen is the title of the lesson: What should we do with the ministry of the Apostle Raymond Jackson? And that is a question I hope to answer before we finish today. I have one opening verse of scripture I would like to read here before we begin. It is from Matthew chapter 10, and you are welcome to open your bibles and read it with me if you like.
t’s good to be with you this evening, and I thank you for joining us.
God sure is good. I am really joyful over the wonderful move of God here these past weeks. And for all our friends who have recently left the message, God bless you all. Blessed are you when they revile you and persecute you for the sake of Christ, for great is your reward in heaven.
