Ephesians – Positions of Privilege in the Household of God – 2010 – Denver, CO
Ephesians is a “Prison Epistle,” along with Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon (see Eph 3:1, Eph 4:1, and Eph 6:20). Written by Paul from Rome, the epistle expands on themes in Colossians, much as Romans does to Galatians. Whereas Colossians develops the all-sufficiency of Christ to the Church, Ephesians shows the blessings of that “fullness” enjoyed by the members of God’s family. The idea of unity resulting from reconciliation runs strong through the book (Eph 1:9-10; Eph 2:16-18; Eph 3:4-6; Eph 4:3-6; Eph 5:30-32; Eph 6:18-20). It is possible that the epistle was actually a circular letter to the churches of Asia. Paul’s goal is to inform the saints of their privileged status and exhort them to live in a way worthy of their standing.

If Jesus Christ doesn't come soon, you and I are going to watch the demise of our nation. And here he quotes Isaiah 40:6-8, “because all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower falls away.”
There is all of human history. There is every kingdom that has ever arisen on this earth. There is every civilization.
No matter how beautiful the flower, the grass withers and the flower falls. The flower of the United States of America is about to fall. If Jesus Christ doesn't come soon, you and I are going to watch the demise of our nation. And it's going to break my heart because this nation has been the brightest light in modern history. It has been to the modern age what the nation of Israel should have been and sometimes was in their own age. And the greatest hope for freedom, liberty and prosperity and compassion is going to be gone from the earth.
