The Epistle of Ephesians is a letter that contains a very important
message for the people of God, who are to be encouraged in
accomplishing His mission for the world. Yeshua the Messiah is
portrayed as exalted above the cosmos, with His resurrection power
being accessible to all Believers. God's people have been selected
by Him to be holy, corporately composing a Temple in which His
presence can dwell. By the sacrificial work of the cross, Jewish
and non-Jewish followers of the Messiah are to be united together
as a "one new humanity"-the mystery of the gospel All are to serve
one another in the Body of Messiah in mutual submission, as
Yeshua's thoughts and mindset nourish the whole ekklesia. People
are encouraged to emulate God in their behavior, living
distinctively different lives from those around them. In varying
degrees, Ephesians has often been highly valued by today's
Messianic movement because of its emphasis of Jewish and non-Jewish
Believers being a part of the Commonwealth of Israel. It does speak
of the unity that we are to all have in the Lord, as a testament to
the grander redemption of Creation that will come in the eschaton.
But while Ephesians is a text that we often turn to, Messianics are
often not aware of the more detailed issues surrounding this letter
present in contemporary scholarship. Were the "Ephesians" the only
audience who received the letter, or was this a general epistle
written to Believers in Asia Minor? Did the Apostle Paul really
write Ephesians, or was it written by a second generation Believer
in his name? What is the specific debate surrounding the dividing
wall that has been abolished by the cross-is the wall abolished
really the Torah of Moses in its entirety or could it be something
else? Are husbands the head/authority of their wives or the
head/source of their wives? How interconnected is the composition
of Ephesians with the composition of Colossians? In the commentary
Ephesians for the Practical Messianic, TNN Online editor J.K. McKee
addresses the known and unknown questions that this important
letter asks us as Messianic Believers. A large Jewish and
Greco-Roman Mediterranean background is considered of the issues.
Careful and detailed attention has been given to the opinions
present today surrounding the dividing wall, and complimentarian
and egalitarian views of the household codes. References to Tanach
(Old Testament) concepts in the author's words are considered,
along with careful consideration for how Ephesians challenges us as
a faith community trying to achieve our Father's objectives.
Poignant questions as to how we can be molded into a mature people
are asked for today's season of Messianic uncertainty.
