Ephesians 4:25-5:2

What does it look like to be angry without sinning?

"I look on my faith as a liberation."

In my Bible, this week's reading from Ephesians bears the title, "Rules for the New Life." The text reads like a laundry list of more or less unrelated instructions. Put away falsehood. Speak the truth, be angry but don't sin, and do not make room for the devil. Give up stealing and work honestly. Speak only what is useful for building up; do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Put away bitterness, anger, slander, and malice.

We are to work honestly, work with our hands, and work so that we can share with those in need.

What makes kindness a distinctive mark of the new creation?

For decades, my students have failed to grasp the resurrection of the body as an article of faith.

God has become clear in the person of Jesus.
