Put on the new self
This Sunday we are returning to the book of Ephesians and picking up where we left off last year. We’ve considered what it means to be a Christian – to be incomprehensibly loved, chosen and adopted by God – to be brought from death to life and from rejection to inclusion. And we’ve considered what it means to be the wondrous mystery (the church) together – united as resurrected, reconciled people – growing in love, truth, humility and peace. Now, from 4:17, we further consider how to live out the renewal of both our selves and our community. In fact, by ‘putting on the new self’, we are being transformed in the way we relate to each other and others.
