This letter to the church in Ephesus is helping them to know what the church is and what the church should be doing. There was probably ethnic tension in the church, but the church is God’s! Can it be that we have forgotten what the church is and what the church is to do?
Where there is racial hostility in the church, there is confusion. You can be confused about many things and be fine, but you can’t be confused about Christ. Look to Christ, and be rooted in His word for the right way to respond ethnic tension.
