Each week of devotions throughout our Live Worthy series on Ephesians will be spent on a single chapter. We encourage you to re-read the chapter each day. Additionally, we will focus on a few key verses each day. This week, we will focus on chapter 5 of Ephesians
Read Ephesians 5
Exposing the Darkness
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”” Ephesians 5:11-14
Paul calls believers not to partner with darkness but to expose it. This doesn’t mean self-righteous finger-pointing; it means living in such a way that the contrast between light and darkness becomes clear.
Darkness hides sin, but light reveals truth — and that truth leads to freedom. The quote, “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you,” captures the urgency of this calling.
We are not passive observers; we are active witnesses, calling others out of spiritual sleep into the radiance of Christ.
Question to Ponder: Am I hiding in shadows that God’s light wants to uncover?
