Ephesians

Second Day: Read Ephesians 4:7-16, concentrating on verses 7-10.

1. The apostle Paul continues speaking to Christians. Who has been given a gift? What is the gift? Who determined the gift? (Ephesians 4:7)

2. Paul reminds us of what Jesus Christ has done. What does Ephesians 4:8 say about Jesus Christ? (Note: the term “men” in this verse refers to human beings, whether male or female).

3. How does Paul explain what “he ascended” implies? (Ephesians 4:9)

4. What do you learn about this from the following verses?

John 16:28

1 John 4:14

5. a. Where is the Lord Jesus now? (Ephesians 4:10)

b. Paul sometimes repeats himself, re-emphasizing important truths. How does Ephesians 1:20-23 reaffirm the truth expressed in Ephesians 4:10?

6. Personal: Have you submitted yourself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ? Take a moment and search your heart. Is there someone or something you put before Him in your life? Won’t you pray now and ask His forgiveness and make Him Lord of all areas of your life?
