Ephesians 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
How dear the Father is when we view him in association with the Redeemer. Never do the saints seem to delight so much in God as when they behold him in the person of Jesus Christ. Then is he inexpressibly lovely to us, and we preach him with joy and delight. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Ephesians 1:3. Who have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
"Blessed," says he, "be God, who hath blessed us." Well may we bless him with our feeble thanks who has blest us with his might; mercies. Nothing makes a man bless God like God’s blessing him. "He has blessed us," says the apostle, "with all spiritual blessings." The children of God have not only some blessings, but all they want. They are all theirs - all for time and all for eternity, but they are all in Christ. There is no blessing out of Christ. All the fullness of blessing dwells in Jesus, and in him only. And if thou wouldest be blessed, thou must come to Christ for a blessing. He has "blest us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."
