Count Your Blessings "in" Christ

 Ephesians 1. 3-14 is loaded with complex ideas about us inheriting blessings "in" Christ.  Paul's Letter begins with ariel view of what God has done for us.  The whole epistle wants us to be prepared for hardship, push back and oppression. So it begins by inviting us not to count our blessings (which may be difficult if we feel we have few) but instead to thank God for God, or more precisely to thank God for how Christ's blood has rescued us from the dominion of darkness.  In my sermon I recommend reading the whole of Ephesians which is six very short chapters.
