Aim: To avail ourselves of the wonderful advantages of life in Church (Christ).
Doctrine: Ephesians celebrates Christ's love for His bride, the Church, which is God's new colony on earth and God's new community of grace.
Exegesis: The actors in the Church's great drama: the ministry, represented by Paul (v. 1a); the parish, represented by the Ephesian believers (v. 1b); the Trinity, explicitly and implicitly expressed (v. 2).
Further application: How to more fully appreciate the book of Ephesians: if we are members of the body of Christ, then, as such, let us ascend the Mount of our Resurrected Savior.
Key verse: v. 2 ''Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.''
