Ephesians 3

The secret is out! All the mysteries of God's plan is now made known. How often have we questioned God's purposes? Through the Holy Spirit living in us, God reveals the true, underlining reason for everything He does. This doesn't mean we understand the ends and outs of every decision, disaster, or triumph here on earth, but we can know the whole picture. The final result that is being orchestrated... That every man, woman, and child... every sinner, saint, slave, and master... every muslim, hindu, jew, and gentile has the opportunity to know Christ and His love and give it in return.

Paul says, "When I think of all this, I fall to my knees.." How fortunate are we to know this mystery! The Greek translation for mystery used in this chapter is "mysterion" which he uses to describe something that was formerly hidden or obscure, but now now revealed by God for ALL to know. To know His Love, and to know that we must be rooted in Him and this love so that we can then understand it fully!
