The book of Ephesians is stretching us. Last week we learned how sinful we are. That we are born spiritually dead and there is nothing we can do to fix ourselves or bring ourselves back into a relationship with God. But even though we deserve God’s wrath for our sins, we have become the most blessed beings in the universe because of God’s love for us through Jesus. Today’s text tells us that Jesus not only brings us back into relationship with God, but also restores our broken relationships with one another. Like before and after diet pictures, Paul talks about what we were before Christ and tells us the reality of our lives now that we have become a part of His people.
