As I read Ephesians in the Immerse reading plan, the term “drinking from a fire hose” came to mind.

Paul could have zeroed in on one of the points he addressed in his letter to the Ephesians and expanded on that one point alone for the content of his letter.

Margit and I were very fortunate in 2017 to be able to visit Ephesus and stand in the colosseum where Paul addressed 25,000 skeptical Ephesians to bring the good news to them.  Very humbling.

The tenets Paul preached there and identified in this letter to them are, of course, as valid today as they were then.

I believe you could read through Ephesians daily and understand all that Christ (and Paul as his emissary) was trying to teach us.  But, if I limited my reading to only this, I would miss the instruction, understanding and appreciation of all else that the Bible has to offer.

Now, just have to be honest if I am living or trying to live according to all that I am reading.  Some days, good, and some days, not so good.  That’s why I am still a work in progress.
