Ephesians series message 15

Text: Ephesians 3:1-6

Our passage this week and next contains truths that are profoundly important for us to grasp. Paul is winding down the letter's foundation of theology and will soon turn to Christian ethics and what it looks like to follow Christ. As he teaches the "mystery" of Jew and Gentile together, comprising the people of God, and the necessity of special revelation, which brings it to light, let us not overlook the term heir. It is a stupendous gospel truth which sets the stage for the practical truths to come. Indeed, Paul is laying down tracks which inform and comfort us as we say "no" to sin, accept suffering, and endeavor to love our neighbor well.
