Do you ever wish you had a portal, so you could travel back and forth from different parts of the world in seconds? Imagine if you could literally move back and forth from Heaven in seconds, as easily as walking through a wardrobe. C. S. Lewis depicted this concept so beautifully in the Narnia Chronicles. The real life version is, however, even better.
Today, we began our six weeks series exploring Paul's letter to the Ephesians (or the early church in Asia Minor). The letter gives us a profound and beautiful exposition of the ways in which we have something even better than a portal: adoption into the family of Christ. Ephesians 1.1-14 reminds us that we belong to Heaven, with a promised inheritance that we begin to experience, now, on earth. Because of this, we can't travel back and forth from earth to Heaven, but we can live in the overlap. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we can be confident in our ability to be hear God's counsel and walk in His presence right now.
