Ephesians Part 5: The Mystery of Christ
The great mystery was hidden throughout the ages until revealed to the Apostle Paul. If it was known, the evil rulers
would not have crucified Jesus, and God’s plan for humanity’s redemption would have been thwarted. The inclusion of the Gentiles and the full significance of what Christ accomplished on the cross are part of the mystery that is now revealed in the Ephesians Epistle.
Ephesians 3:1-9. What Christ accomplished for humanity was kept secret until Paul received it by revelation.
Luke 9:44-45. God wanted the information concealed.
Luke 18:31-34. Many things are written in the OT foretelling what Jesus would do and accomplish; however, much of it was hidden until Paul.
Mark 8:31-33. Not only did Peter not understand what Jesus said, he also thought he was wrong.
1 Corinthians 2: 6-8. Had they understood, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Ephesians 3:2. The word “stewardship” and “administration” in verse 9 are the same Greek word oikonomia.
3:4-5. Before, no one understood; now, we can understand.
1 Corinthians 2:6-16.
Ephesians 3:6. Gentiles were now fellow heirs, members, partakers of the promise.
Ephesians 2:12-22.
3:8. The riches are so deep, vast, and profound they can never be fully discovered until Christ returns. They are infinitely rich and abundant.
Colossians 1:27. Christ in you
Ephesians 3:10. Rulers and the authorities – 1:19-21; 6:12
3:11. The mystery explains God’s purpose of the ages.
3:12. Only the high priest once a year had access to God. Now every disciple has direct, bold, and confident access to God.
3:13. Do not be discouraged I am in prison; rather, accept it is actually a glorious thing
