Excellent.

The other day, I was just thinking along lines of this part;

although I must confess I wasn't consciously linking to the epistle to the Ephesians as did the author Robert McClurkin, along with Paul, who when he (Paul) originally wrote of this, I cannot but think understood this like a form of poetry, truth expressed in ways approaching poetic manner.

How else could one speak of such things? But it's not just poetry, for it is enduring truth of God's own desire, His preferred, hoped and longed for inward heart towards ourselves who are but creations within the entire universe, which by His own Word He brought into being, brought into existence where before there was no thing

It seems to me, Ephesians is all about the local church, each of which bears His Title (1 Cor. 12:12), though autonomous.

"For even as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ." (Darby)(I believe The Christ should be capitalized).
