On Sunday night we completed our discussion of Ephesians 3:16-19 with an exercise. We played a game and saw just how full we could fill a glass of water without it flowing down over the sides. It was fun putting those last drops of H2o into the cup, before it inevitably spilled over and on to the table. I think it also helped us visualize Paul's prayer for the Ephesians. He wanted them to be "filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." What would a life look like that was filled to the measure with God? In the book of Colossians we learn that "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form..." I think that it was Paul's prayer for the people of Ephesus to look more and more like Christ daily. One drop at a time.
