This week we come to the end of our “In Christ” series, & Paul gives us one of the most passionate & powerful prayers in the whole New Testament. He begins by finishing the sentence he started back at the beginning of chapter 3: “For this reason…” & the reason is everything we’ve seen in chapters 1 through 3. We have been chosen, made alive, brought near, & built together into a dwelling where God lives. Now Paul prays that what is true of us would become real to us. He asks that we would be strengthened by the Spirit in our inner being, that Christ would be at home in our hearts, that we would be rooted & established in love (not fear), & that we would grasp how wide & long & high & deep the love of Christ really is. Then he can’t help himself & bursts into praise for the God who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine! So our question this week is this: are we settling for a tiny sip of God, or, by the power of the Spirit, are we building our lives on a God whose love is as vast as the ocean?

In Christ: Ephesians 3:1-13 – Luke Emery
Paul talks about the mystery that God unveiled at the right 6me, which was this: all people gathered to Him under Christ, His church and bride. It’s the mystery that caused even the spiritual enemies of God to marvel at His wisdom. In this mystery, those of us who once didn’t belong now belong. It’s in this grace that we are all compelled to administer this grace to others.

In Christ: Ephesians 2:11-22 – Dave Teixeira
One thing about the Gospel is that it changes things more radically than we sometimes realize or understand. This week Paul talks about the radical relational reconstruction of all society as he walks straight into the deepest divide of his world, Jew & Gentile. And he starts by telling them to remember. Remember that you were the ones on the outside. Remember that you had no standing & no hope. Remember what it cost to bring you in. Because Paul’s argument in Ephesians 2:11-22 is that the same mercy that made us alive back in verse 4 is the mercy that makes us one. There was a real wall in the temple, with a warning sign on it, & Jesus did not climb over it or negotiate around it. He tore it down, & then he used what was left to build a house he could actually live in. That is the Gospel! Mercy creates humility, & humility grows unity. So our question this week is a hard one: what walls are we still keeping up that Jesus already died to take down?
