Discussion Questions for Ephesians:
- Why do authorship (“we”) and audience (“you”) matter so much here?
- Who were the first to hope in Christ (1:12)? Who are the “you also” in verse 13?
- How does Ephesians 2:11-13 help us define even further who the “you” is?
- In verse 17, who was “far away”? Who was “near”?
- How is this a unifying message rather than a divisive one?
- What does this mean for those who believe predestination is about individual selection?
- What is the “mystery” Paul speaks of in chapter 3? Is it still hidden or revealed? If revealed, how?
- React to this statement: Jesus said, “I’ll draw all men,” not “I’ll draft a few.”
