The Broadest Shoulders
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Jesusis able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine
according to his power that is at work within us
Let’s teach them to stand on Jesus’ broad shoulders so the next
generation might stand on theirs.
