Ephesians 4:1-16
Paul tells us that we are far more valuable, honorable, and important than we realize, and he admonishes us to act like it.
In Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, and his spirit that comes to us, we hear him say, “You are my beloved, in whom I’m well pleased. That’s the truest thing about you, so remember that when you go out into the world.”
The call to be reunited to God, reconnected to one another, and redirected out into the world is the life-blood of the Christians in every time, place, and language.
