We have the responsibility to reveal the great mystery. To bring the gospel; to proclaim the truth to our circle of influence.
1. Proclaiming the mystery carries a great price v1-4(also 2 Tim 3/2 Cor 6). a)Being a prisoner. v.1 Paul understood God had a plan for him. Suffering, in prison, stoned left for dead, etc. Falsely accused. but he says he is a prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of the gentiles. b)Being a Steward. v.2 Serve one another just like in 1 Peter 4. This is God's plan for all of us. The Pricetag is absolute surrender. Be submissive to God. Paul took his stewardship seriously. 2. Proclaiming the mystery carries a great privilage v5-6 (also Gen 12:3/Isa 49:6) Gentiles are fellow heirs;partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. 3. Proclaiming/Preaching the mystry carries is a great pursuit v.7 (also Rom 10:4/Matt 28/Col 1:29) We are all called to be ministers (servants) of His good news. We have the work of God which is Grace.
