“Sleeper, Awake…” - Episode 48 in the series, “Letter to the Ephesians”

Our series continues with Jonah and Patrick reflecting on the people of Ephesus, who were being led into a new faith experience with Jesus Christ. The birth of a new community in Christ was a fusion of Jewish and pagan traditions, both cultural and spiritual. What were the consequences of this new light dawning in their daily lives? Paul offers us all a discernment practice—when we turn towards Christ’s light, the shadow in us is revealed. One gives life, the other is rooted in death. “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”   Eph 5:14 (ESV)
