Ephesians 5:1 – 6:9 The Great Mystery Marriage, Family and Children The Homewood Suites (East Rutherford, NJ) Chatten, Bob 03/15/2015
God shows His physical masterpiece in the perfectly, harmoniously ordered universe. In Ephesians, we see His spiritual masterpiece in a group of people, the Church, that are set in a perfect order and relationship to each other by God’s design. As the heavens declare God’s glory, the Church shows forth God’s glory as each member walks in the great Mystery, the One Body. The teacher shows the three walks in Ephesians, Chapter 5 and the three examples of those walks to teach us how to live the Mystery.

It shows how the Judeans and Gentiles had to come together to live in unity in the One Body. It talks of the gift ministries that help the perfecting of the saints in their walk. We are shown that the way to live the practical side of Ephesians is by the renewed mind.

Ephesians Chapter 2 The Great Mystery The Homewood Suites (East Rutherford, NJ) Gilmore, Michael 03/08/2015
We see how at one time we were dead in trespasses and sins, missing the mark, and making wrong turns, but, because of God’s mercy, His lovingkindness, and His compassion, we were saved by grace and made to sit together in heavenly places. Because of what Christ did for us, we, as the Church of the Body, are God’s masterpiece, have peace and access to God, and are continuously being built together for an habitation of God.

The doctrinal and practical sides of Romans and Ephesians are mentioned as well as the differences between the two Books. We see the plight of man in Romans compared to our identification in Christ and our being seated in the heavenly places which are parts of the Mystery revealed in Ephesians.
