V. 15. These two prayers in Epheâ€" sus should be . mpared as one is the comrlemem of the other. In 1: 17â€"23, Paul thinks of the magnificence of the hope which Christ brings and of the grandeur of the inheritance which is laid up for believers. No human eye can see it, so he prays that the eyes of their minds may be opened by the Spirit of God that they may see the SE CCC EOOE HEmeT THe Wew of God is pure, then prayer also is pure. Jesus first revealed this beautiâ€" ful grace and love of God w*en he taught his followers to say, "Our Father which art in heaven." He thereby made true prayer possible. We know that God is our Father who is constantly contemplating the best things tor all his children. his prayer. This duty must have made great inroads upon his time, but he reaped great results. Perhaps there are few ways in which some people can do more service than in sincere and constant petition for those whom they love, and whose welfare they desire. III. ravt‘s secomsp» rravyer, Eph. 3: 14â€"21. \ V. 14. This is the second of the prayers in Ephesians, and it is exceedâ€" ingly rich in its teaching and the light thrown upon the nature of true worâ€" ship. Paul knelt to the "Father." Everything is a religious turn upon the nature of the God who is worshipâ€" Ed. Those who worshipped a cruel oloch thought it was necessary to make their children walk through the fire as an act pleasing to their God.

These verses are sufficient to banish any suggestion that Paul was a stern, hard, cold man, indifferâ€" ent to all the warmer emotions of the soul. His heart, was very soft and ‘ender. Prayer had done wonders in deefening his s rsothy with all those who loved the an Jesus. ‘ II. raut‘s ceasEuess THANKSGIVING, Eph. 1: 15, 16.

He taught his iples definitely on the principles of true prayer, gave them the great model, called the Lord‘s Prayer, and most of all set them an example of the value and effect of sincere communion with God. Pacl follows his Lord here very closely, and we find that the same stress is laid upen this great subject in the Epistles as in the gospels. I. THE FAREWELL PRAYER oF EPHESUS, Acts 20: 36â€"38.

Therefore all glory must be ascribed to him who came to give us this blessing. Paul‘s prayers are a great description of prazyer to Jesus. They are, as is said in theological lanâ€" gvage, christologi¢calâ€"Christ is the second prayer, he thinks not so much ol'ljg!:_g as of strength. V. 18. This strength can only come as Christ dwells in us. But Jesus has romised to reveal himself to his folâ€" EP'GH, for he will abide with us for ever. Three things are here emphaâ€" sized. (1) That it is only by the spirit that men may come to know the fulâ€" ness of the glory in Christ. We do not rise by our own efforts. Strength has to be given to us from above and we can only obtain this strength as we live in unity and harmony with others who are worshippirg the came Christ. It is along with the saints that we know truth. (3) This love of God can never be exhausted. We may see more of its great dimensions, its length, breadth, height, depth, but still it reâ€" mains unknown in all its fulness. It st th knowledge. 3. 20.
