March 26 - Ephesians 6: The Young are the Church Now

In this passage we see Paul address the responsibilities, in the light of the gospel, of children and fathers. He has previously urged the Ephesian readers to “live as children of light” (5:8) and “be filled with the Spirit” (5:18). The implications of these exhortations are explored in relational terms as Paul teaches wives and husbands, children and fathers, slaves and masters. While not a comprehensive picture, the overall impression is given that there is no relationship that we are involved in that the gospel does not touch.
