While the Ephesians proclaimed the greatness of Diana (Acts 19:28), Paul proclaimed the greatness of Jesus. Six characteristics teach that Jesus was …

• The Incarnation (v. 16a): “Manifest in the flesh”
• The Resurrection (v. 16b): “Justified in the spirit”
• The Ascension (v. 16c): “Seen of angels”
• The Proclamation (v. 16d): “Preached among the nations”
• The Reception (v. 16e): “Believed on in the world”
• The Enthronement (v. 16f): “Received up in glory”

The central message of the church is Jesus. This is why we live by Him and proclaim Him at every opportunity!
