—Ephesians 1:17-23
by: Joan Small.
I believe the proverb, “Ignorance is Bliss,” is far removed from the truth. I would reword it to read, “Ignorance is bliss…until the truth is revealed.” Paul wanted the Ephesians to know the truth of the spiritual blessings they had in Jesus Christ. He constantly prayed that God would reveal the spiritual wisdom of the knowledge of Jesus Christ, so that their hearts would be enlightened and they would come to understand and know the hope they had in Jesus Christ their Lord. When we get that understanding, we have the responsibility to use the resources given to us to live a successful Christian life.
