Ephesians...a letter sent to Ephesus by the Apostle Paul; ...describes human beings, their predicament, sin, and delusions, but more, it describes God's reaching out to people to recreate and transform them into a new society;

...shows who we really are without Christ and who we become both individually and corporately with Christ; ...is a great book to study to understand ourselves and how we can get along with each other; ...provides some of the most direct and practical guidelines for living found in Scripture; ...4:25-5:2 specifically expressing ethical teaching; rejecting what destroys, and promoting what builds community (the Body of Christ); ...gives the Body of Christ our unique identity and belonging.

What is the backdrop that is shaping your life? Does it give you meaning and purpose? Where can you be more honest in your life? With whom can you share this? Which issue that we read and discussed in Ephesians today do you struggle with the most, truth, anger, stealing, speech, bitterness, compassion, or love?
