“Christian Ecstasy” - Episode 49 in the series, “Letter to the Ephesians”
Description
What is the relationship between Christ’s light and the darkness in and around us that does not bear fruit (Eph 5:11-14). As Paul himself experienced so dramatically on his way to Damascus, the road walked with Christ is not filled with condemnation of others or ourselves. Christ’s light shines on all of who we are. Can we bring all of who we are to him and open ourselves to the transformative, healing processes flowing towards us? When we are filled with God, the qualities sought in states of ecstasy are available — expansion, revelation, communion, connection, etc. But, at the same time, our humanity dignity is enhanced, not debased. These are the questions and themes explored in today’s episode.
