Our natural reason says, If we do not walk, how can we ever reach the goal? What can we attain without effort? How can we get anywhere if we do not move? But Christianity is a queer business! If at the outset we try to do anything, we miss everything. 'Most Christians make the mistake of trying to walk in order to be able to sit, but that is a reversal of the true order. Commenting on Ephesians, Watchman Nee said We are to see ourselves as seated in the heavenlies with Christ. If I had to write the theme of Ephesians in three words or less (why use more words that we have to right?) then I'd go with the title of Watchman Nee's book on this letter which sums it up well - 'Sit, walk, stand'. The first three speak of our standing in the Lord while the last three speak of our state in this life. The last three speak of our practice of this position.

Since Ephesians gives no hint of his release from prison, as do Philippians (Php 1:19-26) and Philemon (Phm 1:22), it is reasonable to think that he wrote it in the early part of his stay, or about a.d. Along with Ephesians, the Books of Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon are thought to have been written during the same time period and hence are called the “Prison Epistles” (cf. All things considered, the Roman imprisonment seems more likely. Scholars differ on whether Paul wrote this letter while he was imprisoned in Caesarea (Act 24:27) in a.d. Paul was a prisoner at the time he wrote this letter (Eph 3:1 Eph 4:1 Eph 6:20). The Bible Knowledge Commentary states the time and background of the letter well writing: and there are many!īackground & overview - Why study Ephesians?

no pressure then for the new year! We are only trying to scale the highest of all Christian theological peaks!
