in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. — Eph 2:7 BSB

Christ's great purpose for His people is to help them understand the hope of their calling, the riches of their glorious inheritance, and the overwhelming greatness of His power toward us who believe.

In every part of our lives and every challenge we face, let's experience the fullness of His power and grace. Then, in the ages to come, we will truly grasp the exceeding riches of His grace, expressed through His kindness to us in Jesus Christ.

Are you following your Teacher in the school of faith, finishing the lessons that will prepare you for a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory? This is just the School of Faith.

We can’t even begin to imagine what these lessons will mean for us one day, when we are seated with Him on His throne, sharing in His power and the governing of the universe. Let us be faithful students now, enduring the cross and despising the shame, so that we may sit down with Him at the right hand of God.
