Walk in Love

"Walk in love," Paul says in his letter to the church in Ephesus (chapter 5). And he wasn't being sentimental. He plows right into the most sensitive applications: sexual conduct, permissible speech, alcohol consumption, family relationships, and servitude. He wasn't simply laying down moral rules, though. There is something that holds all this together and it isn't simply an effort in moral rectitude. On the contrary, Paul says that in the center of all this is a profound mystery that will make us wonder whether we're walking on our own or being carried along.
