What does God intend to reveal to us in Ephesians?

Revisado: 05-08-22

Perhaps it is fair to say that across the mysterious 66 books of the Bible, none is more deep in revelation than Ephesians. No matter how many times I read it, I'm always left with the sense that I've barely touched the surface of the burden God intends to organically reveal within His people.

Our brother Witness Lee, as seems to be manifestedly true throughout his ministry, was heavily burdened by the Lord to not only see more of those depths, not only to experience more of those depths, but to faithfully encourage the rest of the Body to do the same. This exhaustive outpouring of many layers of heavenly revelation within Ephesians includes both a detailed sequential progression through the entirety of the text, as well as a profound exploration of the key themes our beloved Head revealed to our brother and was burdened to share with us. Witness Lee's consistent burden is less on historical context, doctrinal confirmations, or church practices, but rather nearly completely focused on receiving a spirit of wisdom and revelation, to truly be enlightened to see the economy of the mystery of this revelation, to be actively strengthened into the inner man, that Christ may make His home in our hearts through faith. This unwavering focus helps us see all these precious truths not as merely resulting in personal edification, but much rather to more deeply reveal within us the clear heavenly focus of God to produce the church corporately as His full expression, His masterpeice, His House, His Body, the New Man, the Bride, and the Warrior. We can at least to some degree see not just the theoretical oneness we have in Christ with each other, but the actual accomplished reality of who we really are to each other. This deep and clear revelation then allows us to better understand Who is actually the functioning Life within His Body, the coordinated and organic nature of every members's functioning, and the single goal and focus of any true ministry from God.

After listening through this Life Study of Ephesians, I once again am left with a sense of the unplumbed depths yet to be revealed. However there is also a sense that the Lord has used this brother's ministry to bring me deeper into His heart's desire, to clarify further the vision of His goal, to illuminate more of His mysterious way, and to practically build me me more fully into Himself so that we as His Body can truly build ourselves up in love, together, out from our Head.
