1. Remembering the words of Paul (25-31)

Paul knew that he would not meet his sheep in Ephesus again on earth. He had done his best to proclaim to them the whole will of God. He didn't just tell them the pleasant or easy things. He knew the difficulties they would encounter. Paul reminded them that this was the will of God.

2. Remembering the Lord Jesus (32-38)

Paul committed the church in Ephesus to the word of God's grace. He entrusted them as a precious offering. He had offered himself for their sanctification. Now he reminded them of Jesus, who became a sin offering, giving his life for their salvation. Remembering Jesus and his word is how they would proclaim the whole will of God and be blessings to the whole world.
