Paul's letter to the Ephesians presents the church in a three fold fashion; as a building founded upon Christ, as a body united and blessed by Christ and as the bride joined to and part of Christ! It is this pattern of the church as the body, bones and flesh of Christ which paints the most intimate and dramatic of pictures of the relationship between Christ and the church! By the cross of the Lord Jesus, His people are brought into the most intimate relationship with Him!
