Overview

The Ephesian congregation was a diverse group of Jews and Gentiles, united together in Messiah. They experienced many blessings in their own lives and definitely had an impact on the first century world in which they lived. But the rabbi was not just writing to that local group. What is Paul saying to us? Rabbi Paul Enlightens the Ephesians on Walking with Messiah Yeshua covers such topics as the Jewish background of baptism, redemption and early worship services. It also addresses the relationship of Jews and non-Jews who form the messianic community. Likewise, it offers practical ways to apply your faith to marriage, parenting and careers.

“Sha’ul emphasizes here that we already have every blessing available through the work of Yeshua. True, we may not always be experiencing all those blessings, but the problem is not that God is withholding from us but that we are not fully appropriating those spiritual blessings. Evidently, we do not need more of God, but He needs more of us.” (Page 7)

“We are told that Sha’ul visited the local synagogue for one week as his introduction to the city (Acts 18). Subsequently, he was invited to spend three months in the Jewish community teaching in the synagogue. As a byproduct, the Gentile community was up in arms, as this religious revival was bad for their pagan businesses (Acts 19).” (Page 5)

“A shaliach is a person sent out but is also considered ‘equal to the sender himself’ (Tractate Berechot 34).” (Pages 2–3)

“Rabbinic theology found itself somewhat puzzled in regard to the predicted death of Mashiach” (Page 26)

“Most importantly, we must consistently apply the truth of the Word in our daily lives.” (Page 74)
