Episode notes
Electric Car Sparked A Soul Metaphor
- Erwin McManus bought an electric car and obsessively charged it until the car warned him to stop.
- That caution sparked the metaphor that a soul kept always 'full' can create a false memory of fullness and still be empty.
Jesus As Model Of Fullness
- McManus reads Ephesians to show Jesus as the source and model of full, abundant life.
- Jesus is presented as fully human and fully alive, offering that fullness to us by example and gift.
Fullness Happens In Community
- The fullness of God is experienced in the body of Christ, meaning community not isolated devotion.
- Trying to live fully with only a private relationship to God leads to frustration because God fills through people.
