9 God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure. 10 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.

For the full context, read Ephesians 1:3-14.

When we work together … teamwork … Kingdom building … it requires the harmony we find in the Trinity.

Paul speaks first of the work of the Father in accomplishing our salvation in verses 3-6. The Father chose us before the creation of the world and sent His Son into the world so that through Him we could be adopted into His family. Second, the apostle focused on the work of the Son in verses 7-12. Christ’s blood sacrifice on our behalf paid the penalty for our sins so that we could enjoy forgiveness and lay hold of God’s purpose for our lives. Third, the work of the Holy Spirit, identified in verses 13-14, seals and guarantees our spiritual inheritance.

The Father initiated our salvation … the Son accomplished it … the Holy Spirit makes it real in our lives. The Trinity works in perfect harmony and agreement, each performing distinct roles. Wherever your team is working and whatever your role on the team, purpose to find that kind of perfect harmony.
