The Mystery of the Gospel Revealed Eph. 3:1-13 In these verses, Paul draws back the veil from the mystery of the church and allows us to see and understand what was hidden within the heart of God for so long.While none of us have been called to be the Apostle to the Gentiles, we have each been given " a dispensation of the grace of God." The Lord gave each of us certain spiritual gifts, talents, abilities, knowledge, and opportunities. We are to be good stewards of those gifts and use them to the glory of God, for the good of the Kingdom of God and for the good of people around us. The church lifts the lid off the mystery of God and makes it clear why the Lord has been working in our world. He has been working in this world to save a bride for His Son. He has been working in this world to redeem a people for His glory. He has been working in this world to build a body for His Son. He is forming a body that will bring Him glory as it lives for the Lord and declares the mystery to those who are still trapped in death and darkness.We must never forget, as we journey toward Heaven, that we are the Lord's. We must never forget the terrible price He paid to redeem us to Himself, Isa. 53:4-6. We must never forget that He has made us a part of the " mystery" of the church. As we all know, the Church on earth is imperfect. Nevertheless, we must be committed to the local manifestation of the universal Church. We must be committed to regular worship and should worship with all we have.
