Paul encourages unity in the Ephesian church by clearly proclaiming our Triune God and His authority in everything. The Ephesian church was surrounded by other gods who required complete obedience and submission for salvation, such as Artemis, but it is our LORD Jesus who has all authority and gives Himself and His gifts to you. What joy it is to know that no matter what happens, here or around the world, our church is the Lord’s Church and He will care for us. “O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, by the mystery of the Trinity, You show us again Your power and the gifts You lavish upon us. Thank you for truth, salvation, the seal of promise. Bless the Church that we may be faithful to this grace and trust in You our Head. Lord have mercy. Amen”
