I just love NT Wright. If you’ve read anything he’s written before then you know he’s big on believers being agents of new creation in this world. The phrase he repeats over and over in this book is “small working models of new creation.” Ephesians is about how God has rescued us in the Messiah and made us new humans so we can display what new creation looks like to a watching world. The church is God’s new temple - the place where heaven and earth meet and from where God’s glory spreads to bring renewal like the river in Ezekiel. Our vocation is to do good works that display God’s creativity and cause people to be amazed at His redeeming love. Our unity in diversity, our mutual submission, and our work in the world are all to have this one goal - displaying God’s glory.
