EPHESIANS
Here we commence by saying:
`Ephesians, the epistle written by Paul the Prisoner after Israel were set aside at Acts 28, and became lo-ammi
"Not My people" (Hos. 1:9) directly ministers to that church, the Body of Christ, under the terms, not of a new
covenant, but of "the dispensation of the mystery" (Eph. 3:9 R.V.)'.
To those who have seen that Acts 28 is the dispensational boundary, the epistle to the Ephesians is what the
Magna Carta is to English freedom. There, the member of the Body of Christ learns the nature and sphere of this
high calling, and with this epistle as his standard he can freely range all Scripture, receiving blessing and
illumination from Law, or Prophets, from Psalm or Gospel, yet without confusing the various callings or robbing
others of their own peculiar blessings. Let us first of all see the structure of the epistle, and then seek to discover
some of its distinctive teaching. Upon examination, it will be found to divide itself up into two main portions,
chapters 1 to 3:13 being mainly DOCTRINAL, chapter 4 to 6 being mainly PRACTICAL, the whole pivoted as it were
upon the great central prayer, chapter 3:14-21, and the word `worthy' of Ephesians 4:1.
