As Paul continues his line of thought with the Ephesians, he now brings together the body of Christ as a whole. He has established that Christ reigns over all the gods that the Ephesians have known, he has talked of the sacrifice of Christ setting us right with God. Now he goes to the next step: Christ’s sacrifice brings us closer to God, and to each other. There are no insiders and outsiders when the blood of Jesus comes into play. Regardless of Jew or Gentile status, we all belong to him.
