Ephesians

The subject of this lovely letter is the Church which is His body, that is, the Church of which every blood-bought saint is a member. It is the Church dispensational; it began on the day of Pentecost and was formed by the Holy Spirit as believers were linked to a risen Lord who is the head of the Church. Well might those believers who came to appreciate this truth pass through suffering and martyrdom rather than acknowledge any other head than Christ.

As we trace our path through Ephesians, I trust the grandeur of what God has for us will stimulate us to live for Him as those who are associated with the heavenly places in Christ.

NORMAN MELLISH trusted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour at the age of fifteen. As a young man, the Lord exercised him to preach the gospel. As a result he started gospel tent meetings in the city of Manchester, UK, at the age of twenty-eight. After five years of tent work in the city, the Lord led him into full time ministry. In 1968 he was commended by the Wythenshaw assembly. He has been to the British Isles, North America, Brazil, Australia, and to various parts of Europe to preach the gospel and minister the truth of God to those who love God's name.
