Thanks Mark;
That is the way I believed it to read, but was looking for additional
assurance of it. I just started a series on Ephesians in my mid-week Bible
Study and we probably won't reach Chapter 2 for another week, unless it
becomes delays to to Hurricane problems.
Grace, Joy and Peace

Pastor Clint,
The aorist forms simply state that Christ at some point in time performed
the actions indicated by SUNHGEIREN and SUNEKAQISEN. There is *in the verb
forms themselves* no indication of our present condition. But the idea here
seems to be that, as Paul says elsewhere, our lives are now hidden KEKRUPTAI
with Christ where he is, i.e., seated in heaven. Elsewhere, it says that
Christ "sat down" (EKAQISEN). If we are now "in Christ", then we can say
that at that time he also SUNEKAQISEN us. Where he is we are. So yes,
spiritually, we are there.
God bless,
Mark Lama

Both verbs being active indicative aorist active, how should we understand
our position in Christ. Spiritual are we actually there?
I would appreciate your input on this.
Thanks
