Maintain Unity | Ephesians 4: 1-16
In the eighth part of our exploration through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Matt introduces the central argument towards which Paul has been building and from which Paul will be building for the rest of the letter: that we may live our daily lives in light of Jesus’ death and resurrection. To Paul, it isn’t enough to simply acknowledge Jesus’ ministry and leave it at that. Jesus came and died for a grander purpose than lip-service alone; He did not come to simply build the Church. Rather, Jesus built the Church to bless the world. This passage is filled with practical wisdom for our daily lives as Paul dives even deeper into what that looks like, and how it is that the Church is supposed to accomplish such a task.
