The Ephesian Connection
When you have just finished reading a book you would like your friends to enjoy, you are somewhat limited. You can either buy books for them, or hope to find a way to encourage them to get their own. Today I can almost transcend those usual limitations. I am privileged and delighted, by writing this foreword to make the widest possible recommendation of this book.
Most avid readers are aware that Paul’s letter to the Ephesians has already been handled by many scholars, and some of their writings are most helpful. In view of this I must confess I first approached this book with a bit of apprehension.
I wondered!
Could another book really add much? Could this author possibly have some insights which had escaped the attention of godly men—who are skilled in the message of Ephesians? Could he catch and express what I have considered to be the imperative and ultimate truths of the apostle Paul’s heart?
I am amazed!
Indeed, the Holy Spirit has guided the author in unfolding some very precious insights—all from the twenty-three verses in the first chapter of Ephesians. As you read, you will recognize a new richness and depth in the significant phrases which the apostle Paul uses. Indeed, I predict many will come alive!
In this hour when man-centeredness prevails, I am most grateful for this truly God-centered emphasis which encourages us to see all things from God’s viewpoint—to see the glorious unveiling of his Father-heart and His purpose for His Son and many sons.
May I urge you to read with a “bended knee” and a seeking heart. Fully expect to hear God speak. Don’t rush through! Hold these Pauline phrases of truth before the Lord, asking Him to reveal each one more fully so as to establish your own walk in helping fulfill His eternal purpose.
