The Book
of Ephesians
THE
CHURCH AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
Here’s a
quick overview of the chapter titles from Dr. MacCorkle’s book, “God’s
Special Secret.”
Chapter 2 – The Church As the Temple of Christ
Chapter 3 – The Church As God’s Top Secret
Chapter 4 – The Church As the New Mankind
Chapter 5 – The Church As the Bride of Christ
Chapter 6 – The Church As the Army of Christ
It is important
to remember that God the Father planned and
executed His will in providing a
way of choosing a human people to be His Children. His
love for us is
amazing – especially when we consider the enormous cost to God Himself. The
Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit persons of the One Godhead, all
willing to be unanimous in yielding the life of God the Son, in order to
bring about – and complete this wondrous plan for the Salvation of men,
women and children who would willingly and voluntarily choose to believe it
and take part in it as those set-apart ones making up “The Body of Christ.”
Dr. MacCorkle’s
insights are at the highest levels – seeing God’s works through the imagery
of the “Body of Christ,” the “Set-Aside” people of God, selected by God the
Father through their belief and faith in the sacrificed and risen Lord Jesus
Christ.
On a much lower
level of imagery…
Chapter 1 – What You Have.
Chapter 2 – Why You Have It.
Chapter 3 – The Manifold Wisdom
of God Made Known.
Chapter 4 – Hou You Are to Respond: Walk
Worthy
Chapters 5 & 6 – Walk Worthy, Imitate God,
Be Subject to One Another

A quick look at
Prepositions and their use in the Bible.
"Do Not Hinder Blessing God The Father" (Eph 1:3)
In the previous
class we spent our time mostly on the importance of understanding that the
chapters that follow, and all the blessings and spiritual destinations
there, are the work of our loving heavenly Father God. “God The Father’s
Spiritual Gifts.” In His eternal plan His Son (Jesus, the Messiah, now Lord
and King of all earthly affairs) would voluntarily, at the Father’s request,
come to earth as the Lamb of God (with reference to the Old Testament animal
sacrifices that pointed to the Messiah) and willingly sacrifice His human
life at the Cross for the permanent and eternal forgiveness of the sins
against the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of those who would willingly
believe with their heart, mind, and soul, in Jesus as The Christ. The Father
has done this because of His love of you and I who have
found, believed, and
worshipped as God, His Son.
Paul states that
the blessings are from the
Father as a result of His work in Christ Jesus on our behalf.
This is no small matter.
The Father is ultimately responsible for every good gift that has been given
to us through His son. We should be continually praising the Father,
not only for the whole of creation, but for that special work that has been
done on our behalf through the Son.
We then looked at
those who would be the recipients of this, Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.
Many unsigned copies of Paul’s letter were in existence because it was sent
to a great number of Christian churches across the eastern European and
western Asian countries.
We also found
that the content of this letter was produced as part of Paul’s reporting of
his meeting before the Roman Caesar in efforts to “legitimize” (make legal)
the existence of the then new Christian Church movement and the people’s
right to worship.
I am particularly
thankful that I have copies of Dr. Douglas B. MacCorkle’s wonderful
exegetical book on Ephesians, “God’s Special Secret.” We will be often
reliant upon his remarkable exegetical translation of the text. His in-depth
understanding of the biblical text will help us have a deeper understanding
of the translations we choose to use for our own studies.
THE STUDY
Lesson 03 - The Composition of Christ’s Church, 1:3-6
“The New Creation Work of God The
Father”
3 [You]
Let the
God
and Father
of
our Lord Jesus Christ
be
highly acclaimed [blessed] –
Whose favor endowed [blessed]
us
by the Spirit
with
every
spiritual asset
in the
Heavenlies
in
Christ.
COMMENTARY
We are covering verse 1:3 for a second time. The
whole book of Ephesians is written around how God the Father has done these
things for us out of His love, mercy and Grace.
I have added the word “You” here so that you would
know that in the Greek language the subject is most often embedded in the
verb. So, in this case, “Let be highly acclaimed” has the participle
indicating a singular “you” is being addressed. That means that
Paul meant
for the reader of his
letter, as a singular individual, was to “highly acclaim” the God and Father
of our Jesus Christ, the “anointed one.”
“The One customarily described as the first Person
of the Godhead is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
[1] This is the
full title and name of God the Father in the Bible. There is only one God,
(Eph. 4:6, One God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in
all).
The most important word here is
“Father.” This person of
the Godhead wants us to identify Him as
Father to His Son, The Lord
Jesus Christ. Throughout both Testaments it should become obvious that His
intention is that all those who love and worship Him should know God as
Father. However, The Father’s relationship to His Son, Jesus, is an
incomparable relationship to any other father/son relationship. Almighty God
and His God/Son.
What is so surprising and absolutely wonderful
about this relationship is that the Father has invited all those who believe
(love and worship him (the Son) with their heart, mind, and soul) are
likewise invited to become both adult mature brothers to His Son and
absolute adopted Sons of His. We become not just positionally
sons and brothers, but adopted members of God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit’s immediate physical family, with an eternal destination
and belonging.
In the NASB we
see the word Blessed as the first word in verse 3. The Greek word there
literally means highly acclaimed. The Greek word is where we get our word
eulogize – to speak highly of.
3
Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us
with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians
1:3),
Paul goes on to use the word twice more in this
verse. He is to be highly acclaimed by us, because He has highly acclaimed
us by giving unto us every
highly acclaimed blessing, gift,
endowment, possible in the dwelling place of God the Father, IN
CHRIST – as a result of what Jeus Christ has done for the Father in becoming
the spotless Lamb of God, sacrificed for those who would believe.
Let
us
not miss the word “us.” The
us is a corporate word, every member of the Body of Christ –
past, present, and future – is the receiver of these amazing blessings. And
we don’t want to skim over the word “every.” The word indicates that no
individual blessing available from God the Father in the heavenly realm,
is
left out of His blessings placed upon each one of us as believers. Even if
you dig down in the archives of heaven for blessings bestowed… “every” means
“every” blessing.
MacCorkle makes a great point here – “every
believer has already been
blessed
with all these
blessed
assets.”
[2] We can look
back historically and see that great “day of Pentecost,” when God unleashed
His Holy Spirit upon the body of Christ. God withheld nothing. He put
it all
on the line for us to take. It is not a matter of waiting until we die to
get what He gave. Please, go over each of these spiritual items fully and
appreciate every nuance you can find in these wonderful gifts.
Through belief we become
members of “The Body of
Christ,” the assembly of men, women, and children who have placed their
absolute trust in the salvation provided by the death of His executed Son
who came to earth to free “His people” from sin – forever.
When I was just out of high school my very closest friend, Jonathan, was accidently killed in an automobile accident. I loved Jonathan. We were part of each other’s lives, and we did everything together… and he was suddenly gone. At the wake Jonathan’s dad grabbed me and hugged me and said, “You loved my son, now you are a member of my family.” It still brings tears to my eyes.
And yes, there it
is, becoming a member of God’s family, because I love The Father’s Son.
Before we delve
into the next verse, I want to re-acquaint us with “positional truth.” We
are going to see a list of truths in the following verses that are all
“positional” in nature.
In the last
lesson we looked at a Prepositional Chart and we were encouraged to
“visualize” what each preposition means. We created a “sphere”
of
prepositional space in our minds (or at least I hope you did). There was IN,
and what it means to go from out to in. INTO, what it means to go from out…
and go into a space. And once into a positional space there are features and
responsibilities that go with each “space.” Each of the prepositions are
“positional” in nature.
When we were growing up, a parent might have sent
you to your room for some difficulty. You physically moved from where you
were to your room. That’s a physical positional truth. There are also
non-physical positional truths. Your parent probably also said, “Now, your
really in trouble!” Trouble
is not a physical place. But being “IN trouble” is a
positional truth. So, as we
discuss these spiritual and heavenly truths we need to see them as
positional truths. They are positions God places us into that are, at least
temporarily, non-physical.

“The New Creation Work of God The
Father”
1. Do Not Hinder Blessing
God The Father, 1:3a
2. God The Father’s
Spiritual Gifts, 1:3b
[Accordingly], He
[the Father]
did
all
this
in keeping with the fact that
He
selected [chose - elected]
us for Himself,
in Christ,
before the foundation of
the world –
intending
us to be
in His presence:
holy and faultless people before the Father,
characterized by godly love,
COMMENTARY
The first Greek
word in verse 4 (accordingly) indicates that the blessings of verse 3 are
the subject of verse 4 and beyond. Here, Paul begins his list of some of the
most important Spiritual blessings from the list of “every.”
Our sentence
subject is God the Father, our verb, past tense, “did.” Paul is focusing us
upon The Father’s blessings. We’ll have the human response to this list as
blessings focused upon US, but they are not
focused upon us, the focus here
is upon God the Father and His blessings given. The reason for His focus
being not upon us, is because of His Son’s sacrifice in order to provide
these gifts.
Paul’s first revelation is that The Father God
selected
us for
Himself.
“For it was
fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things,
in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation
[Jesus] through sufferings.”
(Hebrews 2:10)
Then, The Father God selected us
in
Christ.
We
were not selected because of any self-importance we find in ourselves. The
Father chose The Son, and
in choosing Him chose us. 2
Peter 2:4-9 is a wonderful list of all those The Father did not choose.
“And
[you]
coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men,
but is choice and precious in the sight of God,
you also, as living stones, are
being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For this
is contained in Scripture: Behold, I lay
in
Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone, And he who believes in Him
will not be disappointed.”
This precious value, then, is for you who believe;
but for those who disbelieve, “The stone which
the builders rejected, This became the
very corner stone,” and,
“A stone of
stumbling and a rock of offense”;
We, the selected,
elected, chosen, were not afterthoughts. We were chosen before the
foundation (creation) of the world. This also sets forth the preexistence of
Christ. He is, therefore, not part of creation for He is its creator.
In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from
Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In
Him was life, and
the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness did not comprehend it (John 1:1-5).
Finally, He, The Father, “chose us to be
Holy and
faultless people in His presence: characterized by
godly love. Intending us to be in His presence which points to three long-range intended results of
His selection of us: (1) That we should be holy. (2) That we should be
faultless. (3) That we should be characterized by godly love.”

Having
predestined
us
to be
positioned
legally [predestined]
as His [adopted]
adult sons
to Himself
through the mediatorial work
of
Jesus Christ,
in line with what pleases
His will,
COMMENTARY
Before we delve
into this verse let me share with you an analysis of the actual Greek text.
I won’t actually write down the Greek text, but I will write down the
analysis of its words.
“Before-seeing
(designating-beforehand) us into (the) son-placing
(place of a son) through
the Anointed (Christ) Jesus into Him (The Father)
according to the
well-seeming (delight) of His (The Father’s) will.”
[4]
There has been so
much discussion by so many Christian sects concerning “predestination.” Some
even refuse to legitimize evangelism based on their understanding of these
words. In reality, it’s a great way to avoid evangelism because you find it
uncomfortable.
Since Scripture
cannot contradict itself (that which is God’s word, not those places where
lies are recorded), we certainly can never dismiss the words of Jesus
throughout the New Testament, and especially…
“And Jesus came
up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven
and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even
to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20).
“Our lives were not arranged either by a snap
judgment or left to fate. How we end up was decided before we started out.
It is easy to sense here that God never begins what He doesn’t finish. The
Greek word literally means to mark out on the horizon ahead of time.” This
is done so that we can clearly see, in advance, how God’s workmanship will
come out. It also allows us to see how far back our heritage goes.”
[5]
Then there is
“legally positioned as an adult son.”
“In order to shape us, God has placed us in the
legal position of a mature son with all the privileges pertaining to it.
Adoption, by God, opens the door immediately to the wealth of God vested in
our inheritance. He adopted us to Himself because He wants us for His very
own to nourish us and care for us through time and eternity. The glorious
fact is, a believer as an heir, is free to use the spiritual riches of God’s
grace from his or her first day as a saved person.”
[6]
Jesus is our
mediator. Christ is the only mediator between God and man. As High Priest,
He offered Himself as the substitutionary sacrifice for sin and sin’s
replacement by righteousness in the believing life. The believer’s legal
position has been made equal to Christ’s both before God and before man.
Christ died in order to effect it.
“For you have
not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but
you have received a
spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit
Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if
children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,
if indeed
we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him” (Romans
8:15-17).
Yes, and all of
this is what God finds pleasing to His will!

Dr. MacCorkle’s
translation supplies us with words that articulate greater meaning for the
deeper study of God’s Word. Backing away from our common understanding of
words used in many translations, MacCorkle digs deeper in following ultimate
meanings of what matters Paul speaks to in his letters.
Many have the
understanding that the Bible is just the history of the Jewish people, with
the New Testament added on to the end. But the story is so much larger.
The book begins
at the beginning. Where the universe is made, where the
earth is made, and
where man is made. Those three elements are central to the whole book. Man
is placed on this earth far out on a spiral arm of a
very distant galaxy in
the middle of nowhere. God has done this for a remarkable purpose
through
the testing of good and evil – for the gathering of a godly people who will
become His chosen children forever.
Test #1
He starts with
the race of men building and growing in a world where man can walk with God…
or he can walk with the evil one or just live for himself. After many
generations, all moving away from walking with God – until there are only a
handful of believing men and women… and that test comes to a completion and
all but the few are removed from the earth. Failure of the human race.
Test #2
After the earth
regains a human population, God calls a man named Abram who
believes God and
follows after His words. God choses Him to begin a nation of
“chosen
people,” who begin as Hebrews and eventually become known as Jews. God
promises them a “Promised Land,” a kingdom that will reflect
the love of God
with them – and after centuries of rebellion and discipline,
they put God’s
Son on a cross and put Him to death. Again, utter failure of the human race.
Test #3
The Son of God
is
resurrected, and His band of close followers are called upon to establish an
“assembly” of believers known as The Church. The Church moves its way
through history, winning and losing. As the world population grows millions
and millions of people come to Christ – and billions and billions follow
themselves or the evil one, apart from Christ. The day will come when this
test is completed and once again the earth will be cleaned, leaving only
belief behind.
Test #4
The
promised Kingdom of
God will be established on earth with Christ as it’s King, the Nation of
believing “Jews” will be established again, and all those believers of the
New Testament will be there too. And after a thousand years, humanity will
fail their God again and then final judgment. Believers will be ushered into
a heavenly spiritual existence forever, and non-believers will be
ushered
into a place of eternal punishment in a place where God is not.
Four
tests of mankind – so that no man or evil spiritual entity can ever
say of Him – He didn’t do enough. He, The Father, He, The Son, and He, The
Holy Spirit will have done absolutely everything in the process of choosing
those who would become the human family of God for all of eternity.
As I understand
it, that’s a brief summary of why we are to praise, acclaim, esteem, hail,
proclaim, and so many words to the Glory of God the Father in the
accomplishment of His ultimate purpose of His GRACE – which He has
LAVISHED
upon us who believe in His Well-Beloved Son, Jesus, the King, the Christ.
HOMEWORK!
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Look at the question and ignore the answer.
Then study the answer!
(1:3) (MAC)
[You] Let the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ be highly acclaimed [blessed] – Whose favor endowed [blessed] us by
the Spirit with every spiritual asset in the Heavenlies in Christ.
(1:3) (NASB)
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places in Christ,"
1. What does it mean to bless or be
blessed?
Def.: To honor as “Holy.” To be
“Highly Acclaimed.”
2. What are "Blessings?"
In this verse it is Paul who
praises God for the wonderful "blessings" that He has bestowed upon us.
These blessings, or good gifts, reflect the holy character of God and His
love toward those who believe.
3. How does one "bless" God?
Blessing God would be the act of
proclaiming His holiness through word or deed. Telling Him and telling the
world about His character brings Him great glory.
4. What is the significance of the
fact that we can bestow blessings upon God?
It is a wonderful thing that we
can bless or give blessings to God. His relationship to the believer is a
family relationship. God loves to be loved by His children - It bring Him
great joy.
5. Why "Praise to the Father?"
He is the One who deserves our
praise even if He did nothing to or for us. However, He has chosen to place
upon His children every spiritual blessing and for that Paul praises Him -
and so he should.
6. Why is "God, the Father," defined
as "The Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ?"
This is God the Father's official
title or name. He is the Father in relationship to the Son; He, through His
Holy Spirit, is the Father of His Son Jesus; and He is God - God of all,
including His Son.
7. Who has blessed us?
Specifically God the Father.
8. Who are the "us?"
Specifically the believers in
Ephesus (or in a larger sense the believers of the Asian church circuit).
Generally we can apply these words to all believers by way of secondary
application.
9. How has He blessed us?
According to this verse,
believers are blessed by ALL and EVERY spiritual blessing.
10. How many Spiritual blessings were
bestowed upon us?
ALL (Chafer's list includes 33
biblically defined spiritual blessings)
11. What are "Spiritual Blessings?"
Blessings that come to us apart
from our earthly existence. They are truths granted and proclaimed in the
Heavenly sphere and are true whether we acknowledge them or not.
12. Why "in Christ" and not "in Jesus?"
The emphasis on Christ is an
eternal emphasis indicating His office. Pre-incarnate - Deity - God brought
blessings through Christ.
4 [Just as] He [the Father] did all this in
keeping with the fact that He selected [chose] us for Himself,
in Christ, before the foundation of the world – intending us to be in His
presence: holy and faultless people before the Father, characterized by
godly love,
(1:4) (NASB)
"just as He chose us in Him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In
love"
1. In verse
4, what is the purpose of the phrase "just as?"
We could say "in the same
manner as." He chose us - in the same manner as He predestined us - before
the foundation of the world - and through Jesus Christ to Himself (the
Father).
2. What is God's choosing?
God reveals Himself as a God
who chooses (A careful reading of John Chapter 17 would be beneficial to
your understanding of God's chosen relationship to believers).
3. Who did the choosing?
Specifically God the Father in
this verse, does the choosing - again, according to John 17 the Father chose
some to give to the Son.
4. Whom did He choose?
The scriptures tell us that god
chooses those who willingly and freely decide to believe upon His Son,
however, it also teaches that His choice of them is not based upon whether
or not they will choose Him. It is a mystical relationship that is beyond
common logic.
5. What does it mean to be
"chosen?"
Picked out, set aside, hand selected.
6. In what "sphere of operation"
were they/we chosen?
A sphere of operation is a
three dimensional area where time, place and responsibility come together.
In this case the "Sphere" is "In-Christ." If you are In Christ you are in a
specific time, place, and certain responsibilities pertain.
7. When did this choosing take
place?
Before the foundation of the world.
8. When were the "foundations of
the World?"
Before the creation of things
that we can know, touch, and feel. Before the creation of our known
universe.
9. Why were we chosen?
That God would have a people
who believed in and loved Him by their own free will, that we should be
called by Him "Holy and Blameless" being able to stand in His Holy presence.
10. What does the word "that" refer to?
Means or Result. He proclaimed
us to be His and to be Holy and Blameless before Him.
11. Who is the "we?"
Those whom He has chosen, those
who have been called, those who have chosen to believe in His Son by their
own free wills, believers.
12. Define the use of "should be" here.
The word "should" here does not
indicate that there is an alternative. A better word choice "would be."
Those who are chosen are destined to be Holy (set apart unto God) and
blameless (proclaimed blameless).
13. Define "Holy and Blameless"
Set apart, like Him, without
blame, guiltless, able to be in God's immediate presence without fear, found
to be acceptable by God.
14. How does a person become "Holy and
blameless?"
The believer has been chosen to
be proclaimed holy and blameless (just as in a court trial the judge
proclaims you innocent of the charges against you - it doesn't mean that you
didn't do the crime - the judge proclaims you innocent). By proclamation
those whom God chooses are made holy and blameless.
15. When does a person become "Holy and
blameless?"
Before the Foundation of the
World. Made possible by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. It
is applied immediately upon belief.
16. Where does this "Holy and blameless"
take place?
Before (immediately in front
of) God the Father.
17. How long is it effective?
As long as God is.
(1:6)
(MAC)
6
His
ultimate purpose is
an acclamation of His grace’s glory
– which He [freely]
lavished
upon
us
in
the beloved One,
Jesus Christ.
(1:6)
(NASB)
"to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He
freely bestowed on us in the Beloved."
1. Praising
what?
The glory of God the Father's Grace.
2. How was
it given?
Freely bestowed.
3. What
"sphere of operation" made it possible?
"In The Beloved", In Jesus
Christ.
4. Why is He
"Beloved?"
Jesus is the Son of God in a familial relationship with His Father. He is
the object of much more love.
