What comes to mind when you think of the church today? Some would say the church is struggling. Others suggest it has much to answer for. Others still, consider it a great refuge. This week, we begin our series through the New Testament letter to the Ephesians where we are given a vision of the church from an entirely different perspective - from the "heavenly places." Paul describes the church as the chosen and blessed recipient of the lavish grace of God. It is the dwelling place of God, the bride of Christ, and the body of Christ - "the fullness of him who fills all in all." This is who we are - but only ever as we are "in Christ." None of this is our own doing, we are his workmanship - born by the grace of God, and made to be to the glory of God. May God open the eyes of our hearts to see all that he has promised, all that he has done, and all that he has made us in his Son, to the praise of his glorious grace.
