I Am Reconciled (5 of 13)
Ephesians: Who Am I? Discovering Our True Identity
Jordan Easley
Ephesians 2:11-22
I wonder what it would be like... to actually live... in the UNITED States of America? You say, ‘‘Well, we do live in the United States,’’ and yet, I’d argue that today... because as I evaluate the world we live in; I’d say the United States is as DIVIDED today... as we’ve been in well over 100 years. Just watch the news for about 10 minutes... and you’ll see it for yourself.
It’s no longer just black vs white... or Democrat vs. Republican... or Liberals vs. Conservatives. Now it’s also the... Rich vs. the Poor. The educated vs. the uneducated. The 1% vs. the 99%. And everybody seems to be picking sides.
We live in a world today where the media always seems to have a motive...

The reality is: We live in a warzone... where people are divided. And we’re not only divided geographically and politically... we’re also divided by our economy... by our ideologies... our methodologies... and our polities...
Part of me wonders if the United States has EVER been truly united. But even more importantly... I can’t help but wonder... if we will ever BE united.
You know... We aren’t the first group of people on planet earth to lack unity.
When Paul wrote this letter called ‘‘Ephesians’’ to the believers that were living in Ephesus... he was writing to citizens in a city that resembled the world we live in today. A city divided.
Ephesus in the first century was a major port city... in fact, at the time, it was the 4th ...
