Read all of Ephesians 5. What Ideas stick out to you? What sorts of ideas have you historically associated with this text? What questions do you have? How does the opening genealogy speak into the birth narrative?

If there is one thing that we all know deep down, it is that we were made for love. We all spend our lives searching for it, trying to find another person who will truly see us and love us for what they see. Yet we are also terrified of the opposite, that another person will truly see us and reject us for what they see.
