The Possibilities are Endless - by Ben Barnes

In college, one of my professors would host events just about every weekend. Bonfires, hay rides, dodgeball tournaments… he was a lot of fun.  He’d put posters up all over campus with event details and pictures of past events. At the bottom of every poster, without fail, were the words, “The possibilities are endless.”

I never quite understood what he meant by that until I finally attended an event. There was food, music, entertainment… there was even medical staff at one party I attended. If you could think of it or needed it, it was probably available at this guy’s parties. One time he had a barber and a massage therapist giving free services. Those parties were great.

Ephesians 1 says that we’ve been blessed with every spiritual blessing from Heaven. Maybe that’s not food and entertainment, but it’s certainly better than those things. Need peace?  You have it. Need patience? Boom. There it is. Every spiritual blessing. Yours. Mine  Because we’re with Christ. Because we are united with Christ, we’ve got spiritual blessings beyond what we could ask for or imagine.  The possibilities are truly endless.
