Ephesians 1:18
. . . that ye may know what is the hope of his calling . . .
Before we can fully understand and appreciate what The Hope is, we must first delve into the question of His calling. What exactly is His calling, and where does it lead? By exploring His calling, we can uncover the hope that lies within our own calling. As believers in Christ, we are closely identified with Him, and this identification is symbolized through our baptism, not in water but in all He accomplished in our calling. The baptism cannot be a baptism of water, for Eph 4:5 says, One Lord, one faith, one baptism, not two baptisms, one of water, one of spirit. Which one do you choose? Now let's dive into the context of Ephesians to gain a deeper understanding.
Our exploration begins with Ephesians 1:18, but as we look forward to Ephesians 1:20-21, we witness the resurrection of Christ, and His exaltation to the right hand of God in heavenly places, and His supreme authority over all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that exists, both in this age and the age to come. Everything is placed under His feet, and He is the Head over all things to the church, which is His body, His fullness.
