Ephesians 4:9-13 ~ That He might fill all things

Ephesians 4:9-13

9 In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?

10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12
 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, 
for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ

Psalm 104:31
May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works!


Isaiah 54:10

"For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.


We know to see Jesus is to see God the Father. What are the reactions to those who lived with Jesus?

John 4 The Royal official's son lay sick at Capernaum.
53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed.


Luke 5 Amazing catch of fish
Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men."
11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.

Mark 1
30 Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told Jesus about her.
31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them

Mark 1
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"
42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.
43 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:
44 "See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them."
45 Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news.

John 9
30 The man answered, "Now that is remarkable! You don't know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.
31 We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will.
32 Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.
33 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

Luke 17
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
16 He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan.

John 12
1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.



John reports that so many things surrounded Jesus Christ that all the books of the world could not contain all about Jesus. Jesus fills the universe and depths, Jesus lived for us to Live. In all of this confusion and grace -

Father God, We will Trust in the Lord with all our heart, and not lean on our own understanding. In all our ways acknowledge Father God, and God will make straight our paths. 

Lord Father God, You are the provider of all blessings - and in You Blessings Flow.

Thank You, Jesus for our family, friends, neighbors, Churches, work and State - Let Your Ways Guide our Nation. In Jesus. Amen.
