Beyonding

"In the coming ages he would show us the surpassing riches of his grace," Ephesians 2:7.

Who's showing these things? God. What's God showing, manifesting, proving, demonstrating? Riches. Wealth. What's their quality? Surpassing. Excelling. Exceeding. Transcending. Beyonding. What sources these riches? Grace. Gift. Present. God's generosity. When would God show them? In the coming ages. (Not yet at present.) Throughout time in the future world sure to come. To whom would God show these? To you. Us. To us, once dead in sin. To us, now made alive, together. By God. To us, raised up, together. By God. To us, seated in the skies, together. By God. Together, with Christ whom God raised up from the dead and seated at his right hand in the skies. For by grace are we saved through faith, the gift of God.

When we visit with each other today, brothers or sisters, we exclaim: not by works that we have done but by the power of God! And, together, we shout Hallelujah! What God hath wrought! Amen!
