Ephesians 3:1-14

1For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you:

3How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,

4By which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

5Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

6That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

7Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

8Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

11According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him.

13Therefore I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Paul’s Prayer of Ephesian Growth

14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Mystery is Truth that can only be known that GOD revealed to man through Holy Spirit.

He began to reveal the truth of mystery. As result of that Paul has been put in prison.

GOD has given him awesome responsibility to share His grace with you.

As reborn child of GOD, we are part of GOD’s mystery. Revelation came and GOD made known this mystery to Paul. And we read and we can understand the inside to mystery of Christ.

Ephesians 2:11-16

11Therefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

14For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility

15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;

16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Atoning death LORD Jesus Christ made it possible for gentiles who were excluded at the beginning become part of His body.

GOD chose us before the foundations of the world and GOD chose Hebrews and gentile together and make it possible for them to become a part of single body which is called the church to function together on the earth as GOD’s representative and to reflect the likeness, glory and power of GOD on the earth.

We are part of GOD’s great mystery, bring about a new birth, brought Jews and gentiles together two become one, one new man in the body of Christ and we come the extension of GOD’s light.

Love of GOD may be revealed through His body, power of GOD may be exhibit through His body. We are extension of His light, expression of His love.

Genesis 12:1-3

1The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

2“I will make you into a great nation,

and I will bless you;

I will make your name great,

and you will be a blessing.

3I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you.”

Gentiles included in this Truth.

Ephesians 3:7

7Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

He was made servant of GOD and given tremendous responsibility to reveal the mystery that Gentiles included in His body.

Ephesians 3:8-9

8Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

We get into position so when GOD is ready we are ready.
