BLESSED BE...

Ephesians 1:3-10

Declaration begins--
berakhah [see also]
from above,
revealing the plot:

Chosen
by God
for God
for himself
to be a people.

Predestined
by God
for God
to be
his children,
his inheritors.

Redeemed
from destruction
by blood,
precious,
spilled
by will
and choice.

Informed--
with knowledge,
with wisdom,
with insight--
the mystery
revealed:
everything
one
in the Messiah.
