Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 4:1-6 (day two)
Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, vs. 1
Each of us has a high, holy calling. We are reminded throughout scripture of our inheritance, of our royal priesthood, and our adoption as sons and daughters of the king. This, however, is not a call to haughtiness, or exclusion. The world might expect you to assume an air of superiority as you accede to a royal position. Paul reminds us that with our new title comes the expectation of humility, mercy, and grace. The same formula that was shown to us by Jesus is the one he will use to measure us. May we never forget the state in which Jesus found us, and may that forever inform how we love and serve others.
