This chapter starts with a miraculous healing. Jesus then teaches us about following him. His invitation is open to all, but those who accept it must be willing to place put Jesus before everyone or everything else and even their very lives.

Heavenly Father,
Our Savior told his disciples to “beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees,” by which he meant their bad teaching. As Christ’s disciples in this present day, we are no less prone to error than those early disciples were. Help us to avoid it.
Help us to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Help all the teaching we give and that which we willingly receive to be free from legalism, loose practice, error in doctrine and wrong motivation. Let us speak and believe what is true, rather than that which is convenient. And let us simultaneously avoid excessive harshness by adding to your commands.
Let our beliefs be correct and our lives be honorable, full of grace and true to your word.
And we ask this in the name of Jesus,
Amen.
Saved by Grace – Ephesians 2:1-10

Every Spiritual Blessing
Ephesians 1:1-14
