Episode Details
Back to Episodes“The People of God and the Mystery of Ancient Israel” - Episode 37 in the series, “Letter to the Ephesians”
Description
In our next episode, Patrick and Jonah go deeper into Paul’s understanding of God’s work to shape a “people”, the whole idea of ancient Israel. What is revealed is that the separating off and forming of one nation always had the larger mission of reintegration and “blessing” within it. The story of God’s chosen people was meant to grow into a new humanity and community, one that ultimately unites and reconciles all people to one another. Paul understood that the mystery of Christ Jesus’ death and resurrection was not simply about an individual being, but about the death and resurrection of a people—a people that will continue to expand until all who can unite themselves with Him are included.
