THE WORD MYSTERY MEANS Something Not Readily Explained; Secrecy; A Story Based On The Solution Of A

Isn’t It A Mystery That Somehow You And Me (Who Were Dead In Trespasses And Sins) Are Now Made Alive In Christ?

Isn’t It A Mystery That Somehow You And Me (Believers In Jesus Christ) Are Now His Body And Temple?

Isn’t It A Mystery That Somehow You And Me (Gentiles – Foreigners And Strangers Of The Commonwealth Of Israel) Are No Longer Foreigners And Strangers, But Fellow Citizens Because Of The Blood Of Christ?

It’s A Mystery That God Would Choose, On Purpose, To Love Us

God Loving Gentiles Was A Secret To Gentiles And Jews

As A Matter Of Fact, The Jews Called Gentiles “Dogs”

The Apostle Paul Is Writing To The Gentile Believers (Non-Jewish Believers) At The Church Of Ephesus

These Are People Just Like You And Me

In Ephesians Chapter Three, Paul Gives Explanation Of The MYSTERY OF GOD’S LOVE FOR US

In A Mystery, You Usually Have A Who, A When, A What And A Why!

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… He Was In Prison When He Wrote This Letter To The Church At Ephesus

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Ephesians 3: 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… He Was Also Captured By Jesus Christ

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 1 -6 1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 1 -6 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 1 -6 3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 1 -6 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 1 -6 6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 13 -16 13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 13 -16 14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 9: 13 -16 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… He Was Made A Special Minister To The Gentiles

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Ephesians 3: 7 -8 7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

The Who Is The Apostle Paul… Acts 22: 18 -21 21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

The Who Is You Too! “For You Gentiles” Ephesians 3: 1 -3 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward

The Who Is You Too! “For You Gentiles” Ephesians 3: 1 -3 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words)

The Who Is You Too! We Are Special To God, And By His Marvelous Grace, God Sent A Special Servant To Us To Share The Good News Of Jesus Christ

The Who Is You Too! 1 Corinthians 15: 1 -4 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

The Who Is You Too! 1 Corinthians 15: 1 -4 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

The Who Is You Too! 1 Corinthians 15: 1 -4 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

The “Mystery” That Gentiles (Non-Jews) Were Redeemed By The Grace Of God, Was NOT Known By Any Old Testament Saint

Ephesians 3: 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 9 -10 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 9 -10 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 12 -20 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 12 -20 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 12 -20 15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 12 -20 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 12 -20 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 12 -20 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

When Did This Take Place? When Jesus Christ Died On The Cross And Rose From The Dead Hebrews 10: 12 -20 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Under The Law, Gentiles Had To Somehow Try To Become Jews Through Proselytization, Which Means “To Convert”

WHAT IS THE MYSTERY? Ephesians 3: 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

WHAT IS THE MYSTERY? That Gentiles Shall Be Fellow Heirs

WHAT IS THE MYSTERY? That Gentiles Shall Be Partakers

Ephesians 3: 9 -12 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Ephesians 3: 9 -12 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Ephesians 3: 9 -12 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

WHY THE MYSTERY? Because God Is A Gracious God And A God Of Great Wisdom And Wants Everybody Everywhere To Know It!

WHY THE MYSTERY? Even The Angels And Demons Know About This Mystery Of God’s Love For His Church

HERE’S THE MYSTERY! GOD LOVES YOU!

Paul Closes With A Prayer That We Will Know In Our Hearts The Extent Of God’s Love

Ephesians 3: 14 -15 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, GOD’S LOVE IS VAST ENOUGH TO REACH THE WORLD

Ephesians 3: 16 -17 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, GOD’S LOVE IS SPECIFIC ENOUGH TO REACH YOU

Ephesians 3: 18 -21 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3: 18 -21 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Ephesians 3: 18 -21 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. GOD’S LOVE IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BLOW YOUR MIND!

A Mystery Is Something Not Readily Explained A SECRET!

BUT… A Mystery Is Also A Story Based On The Solution Of A Criminal Case

Do You Know The Story Of Your Eternal Future Is Based On The Solution Of A Criminal Case?

THE CASE OF CHRIST 2 Corinthians 5: 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

THE CASE IS CLOSED John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
