The Epistle of Ephesians is a letter that contains a very important message for the people of God, who are to be encouraged in accomplishing His mission for the world. Yeshua the Messiah is portrayed as exalted above the cosmos, with His resurrection power being accessible to all Believers. God's people have been selected by Him to be holy, corporately composing a Temple in which His presence can dwell. By the sacrificial work of the cross, Jewish and non-Jewish followers of the Messiah are to be united together as a "one new humanity"-the mystery of the gospel! All are to serve one another in the Body of Messiah in mutual submission, as Yeshua's thoughts and mindset nourish the whole . People are encouraged to emulate God in their behavior, living distinctively different lives from those around them. In varying degrees, Ephesians has often been highly valued by today's Messianic movement because of its emphasis of Jewish and non-Jewish Believers being a part of the Commonwealth of Israel. It does speak of the unity that we are to all have in the Lord, as a testament to the grander redemption of Creation that will come in the eschaton. But while Ephesians is a text that we often turn to, Messianics are often not aware of the more detailed issues surrounding this letter present in contemporary scholarship. Were the "Ephesians" the only audience who received the letter, or was this a general epistle written to Believers in Asia Minor? Did the Apostle Paul really write Ephesians, or was it written by a second generation Believer in his name? What is the specific debate surrounding the dividing wall that has been abolished by the cross-is the wall abolished really the Torah of Moses in its entirety could it be something else? Are husbands the head/authority of their wives the head/source of their wives? How interconnected is the composition of Ephesians with the composition of Colossians? In the commentary , Messianic Apologetics editor J.K. McKee addresses the known and unknown questions that this important letter asks us as Messianic Believers. A large Jewish and Greco-Roman Mediterranean background is considered of the issues. Careful and detailed attention has been given to the opinions present today surrounding the dividing wall, and complementarian and egalitarian views of the household codes. References to Tanach (Old Testament) concepts in the author's words are considered, along with careful consideration for how Ephesians challenges us as a faith community trying to achieve our Father's objectives. Poignant questions as to how we can be molded into a mature people are asked for today's season of Messianic uncertainty.
