Paul opens Ephesians by giving Christians a new way to see reality: even when the world looks like ruins, God has restored, is restoring, and will restore all things in Jesus. Through Paul’s transformed life, the surprising presence of “saints in Ephesus,” and the unity of the church, we see evidence that God’s restoration has already begun. When life makes us wonder whether God is really at work, Ephesians invites us to look again—to Christ, his resurrection, and the church he is building.
