Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians has encouraged countless believers over the centuries in its constant upholding of Christ as the exalted Lord, always and everywhere. Not only this, but it shows the remarkable way in which the benefits of Christ’s lordship are enjoyed by his people, the church.

Harry Uprichard explains how the interwoven themes of salvation, prayer, faith, regeneration, and Christian living are all variations of the one symphony: the abundant blessings ‘in the heavenly places’ which the enthroned and cosmic Christ is constantly bestowing on his church.

Harry Uprichard served for 41 years as the pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Ahoghill, and has also taught at Belfast Bible College.
