Ephesians 3:1-21
God's mysterious plan revealed.
Mystery occurs 3 times here and it does not mean something mysterious. It means it is hidden for the appropriate time comes for God to reveal it. In the context of this book, it is revealed that the Gentiles are to be considered equal with the Jewish people regarding the promises of God. At the time this was written, it was a radical thing that God would make the Gentiles and the Jews together, coheirs of Christ and co-members of his church. Just as back then, God's word is always on time. God will reveal His plan to you at just the right time and it is up to you for the decision you make to accept it or not.
Paul's prayer is recorded in Ephesians 3:13-21. It mentions and tells of the love of Christ for them (us) all:
That they should be strengthened by His Spirit
That they might have Christ dwelling in their hearts
That they might understand what is the width, length, depth, and the height of the love of Christ
That they might be filled with the fullness of God
Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
God can accomplish more than we ever ask or even think.
Do you live a life that is only partially filled with God? If so... why not have a complete life with God. When you yield to God in complete obedience, you will find that in His hand, your life will be filled with joy and beauty.
