God's Mystery Revealed!
"The mystery is that the Gentiles should be
fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers
of His promise in Christ through the gospel."
Ephesians 3:
6
When the Jewish elder Simeon saw the
baby Jesus, he recognized Him as “a light to
bring revelation to the Gentiles” (Luke
2:32).
So when Jesus described Himself as “the light
of the world” (John 8:12), it should have been
understood by Jewish leaders. But it was not.
Jews did not see the Gentiles as fellow heirs
of God’s blessings promised to
Abraham.
But by the grace given to Paul, he made this
mystery known: Gentiles are fellow heirs and
partakers of God’s blessing through Christ
(Ephesians 3:2-6).
There were clues to this revelation in the
Old
Testament, but Jewish leaders did not have eyes
to see what God purposed to do through Christ
and His Gospel. Thanks be to God; this truth is
no longer a mystery. The Gospel is for everyone!
Through
faith in Christ, all men and women
are united in one Body. Let nothing obstruct
that unity and shared blessings!
"The Gospel is the clear
manifestation of the
mystery of Christ."
John Calvin
