Paul finished his third missionary journey and brought an offering to the church in Jerusalem and while there he was arrested. He ended up appealing to Caesar, which brought him to Rome where he wrote this letter while in house arrest, which is why it is called a prison epistle. Paul starts his letter declaring his apostleship of Christ Jesus, and that it was God's will that he was an apostle. Some of the oldest manuscripts do not have the words, "In Ephesus," which may mean it was a circular letter to go to other churches as well. The word saint is used for all Christians, and it means those who have been called and set apart for the Lord's service. As for Paul's greeting, "Grace and peace to you from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ," in Dr. Abraham Kuruvilla's commentary, he suggests the grace and peace comes from the priestly blessing Aaron was to give to the Israelites in Numbers 6:24-26. Grace also must come first, before we can ever experience God's peace. The Lord of the Israelites, is the Lord Jesus Christ
