We start our new year with an old question: Why? Why follow Jesus? With so many options to choose from concerning what we may follow in life, why choose to follow Jesus? The book of Ephesians lays out a compelling case for why following Jesus is the only appropriate response to God s decisive action in the world. Paul s letter to the church in Ephesus can be divided into two parts. First, Paul makes sure his readers are certain of what God has done for them in Christ. Second, he moves to help his readers understand how their lives must be reordered to reflect the new foundation Christ offers. The two parts of Paul s letters can be summed up like this: You have been made alive in Christ; now live! Why follow Jesus? Because God has made you alive through Jesus and you now have the opportunity to truly live.
