Ephesians 1

Paul writes to followers of Jesus gathered in the city of Ephesus - a city in which he spent more time than any other. He writes to these friends about the great work done in their lives by Jesus Christ - giving them a standing with God and a share in an inheritance that belongs to Him. When Paul thinks about all the blessings the Ephesians enjoy, he cannot contain his joy and expresses it in a remarkable prayer of thanksgiving.
