In today's epistle, #Paul to the Church at Ephesus makes incredible claims about people who have faith in #Christ: "Blessed be the #God and Father of our Lord #Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places". This to a tiny, persecuted minority, who were to be witnesses to peace and love in a Roman #Empire built on fear and #violence. Utterly nuts, but utterly hopeful, too!
