Based on Ephesians 4:4-6
Forbes Magazine is known for its list of the richest people in the world. A quick look at that list would reveal names of people you've heard of before like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. There will also be names you may have never heard before, like Bernard Arnault, Larry Page and Larry Ellison. But you know who's name you won't find there? Yours. Don't take it personally, you are not alone.
In his letter to the Ephesians, the apostle Paul developed a list of his own--one that is far more important than what you might find listed in Forbes. We can find it in Ephesians 4:4-6:
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."
These are the 7 Ones, and God makes them accessible through Jesus Christ. We may not be rich by the world's standards, but thanks to God we are blessed with these seven ones that are worth more than money could ever buy.
Join us this summer at camp and see how these seven ones change the way we view God, treat others and even treat ourselves.
You just might find that you are rich in Jesus Christ!
