Redeeming The Time

Exegesis of the Epistle Reading for the Sunday after Theophany (Ephesians 4:7-13), with emphasis on our only task in life, made possible because of baptism—becoming human. According to the words of the Apostle, "the grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ (begun at baptism) leads us to the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." This is the process of becoming fully human. In the perfect man, Jesus Christ, there is no sin or dark passions, and we will get there because we are able.
