Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 1:3-12 (day three)
“In love he predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the kind intention of his will.”
Here Paul shares with us a glimpse of not merely God’s creative work, but God’s desire. Welling up within God, Paul says, is a deep affection for the human beings he has made. No, more than that. The deep affection was there even before he made man. The intention to draw human kind close to himself was already there by the time God fashioned creatures in his image. The human race has never existed without God’s longing to nurture and treasure.
