Been caught up in Ephesians 1 and the new Jack White album recently.  Granted, I think he’s singing about human love but it points me to the love I’m reading about in Ephesians 1:3-14.  There, our triune God’s rescuing love is dominant—“IN LOVE, He”—

White sings, “I want love to walk right up and bite me.”  This human desire for something to be undeniable and initiating.  And so is the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  They really do walk right up and bite us.

In another place White declares, “I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me.”  This fear of what love will DO to us.  That it will “mess us up”.  Ephesians 1 counters that the love of God is tremendously disrupting and interrupting, yea even undeniable AND healing/restoring instead of corrupting.

So, that’s what I’ve been thinking.  That, and that Jack White made a fun album.
