Ephesians 3:10-21
Charlene Brown
“The “rulers and authorities”— both the earthly authorities and their shadowy heavenly counterparts— always tend to create societies and social structures in their own flat, boring image, monochrome, uniform and one-dimensional. Worse: they tend to marginalize or kill people or groups who don’t fit their narrow band of acceptability. The church is to be, by the very fact of its existence, a warning to them that their time is up, and an announcement to the world that there is a different way to be human.” -N.T. Wright
