God is revealing his eternal plan, hidden for the ages, in Jesus Christ. All things are united in him, summed up in his life, death, and resurrection, and recapitulated under his leadership. In the letter to the Ephesians, Paul writes a summary of God's plan in the world. Reflecting on the beginning of the church and Paul's work there, we get a picture of what it looks like when Christ sums up everything in our lives.
