Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Read – Ephesians 2 No clearer gospel has been proclaimed than Paul’s words in Ephesians 2! Those who once were dead have been made alive in Christ Jesus! And this is not their own achievement – it is the pure gift of God! Ephesians 2:1-10 are a gem. We would do well to memorize these verses. Paul also proclaims how the work of Christ breaks down all the barriers that separate people from one another (Ephesians 2:14). This is the message that Isaiah proclaimed, and following him, Luke proclaimed. The author of this, of course, is Jesus!
