Good evening, I'm Norm MacDonald and this is Bible Update. We're gonna take a look at the book of Ephesians, chapter 1. Paul starts off with his usual greeting, saying "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Alright, so he's wishing them peace and grace from God, got it. He then goes on to give thanks to God for his choice to bless them with every spiritual blessing in heaven. Uh-huh. Then he explains that God chose them in advance, before the creation of the world, to be his holy people. Wow, talk about an exclusive club. He goes on to say that by his power God has given them the precious and very great promises he made to them through Jesus. Alright, well that's the gist of Ephesians 1. Thanks for joining us on Bible Update and goodnight from Norm MacDonald.
