A Wealthy Man's Walk

Tennessee Walkers and the Lippizaner horses are famous for their high steps and beautiful walking techniques. Like these beautiful world-renown horses, men are known by their walk as well. For example, in the epistle of Ephesians, the grand apostle to the Gentiles reflects upon the Christian's "eternal vocation" writes G. Campbell Morgan in his volume, "The Analyzed Bible". A simple outline of this of book is remembered by using the words wealth and walking. Wealth describes the blessing we have in Christ (chapters 1-3). Walking denotes our duties (chapters 4-6).
