Ephesians 1:7(KJV)
A prisoner who survived 14 years in cuban jail told how he kept his spirits up and his hope alive: "I had no window in my cell and so I mentally constructed one on the door. I 'saw' in my mind a beautiful scene from the mountains, with water tumbling down a ravine over rocks. It became so real to me that I would visualize it without effort every time I looked at the cell door."
Ironically some of the most hopeful book of the Bible Philippians, Colossians and Ephesians come out of Paul's house arrest in Rome. The letter to the Ephesians gives a hint as to what the apostle Paul saw when he though about life beyond his place of confinement.
First he saw the spiritual growth in the churches he left behind. This book opens with a burst of thankgiving for the vitality of the Ephesians church ( Eph. 1: 15-16). Then he sought to open the eyes of their hearts to even more exalted sights the "exceeding riches" of God's grace (2:7). When Paul cranks up the volume to express God's plan of love, not one low, mournful note sneaks in.
If you feel discourage or question whether the christian life is worth it, Ephesians proves to be a great tonic. It prescribes the riches in Christ available to all. Grace, mercy and Peace.
