On Sunday I was preaching on Ephesians3:1-6.
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles-Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus
Here Paul talks about the mystery that has been revealed – that gentiles as well as Jews could have access to a relationship with God. This has come about because Christ’s death is for all people regardless of colour, nationality, ethnicity etc. Basically regardless.
All who put their trust in Jesus are united with Him in his death and resurrection.
What wonderful good news that is for ourselves and the communities we live and serve in.
