Summary
In Ephesians chapter 3, Paul discusses the mystery of the Gospel revealed to him for the Gentiles. He speaks of how this mystery was not made known to previous generations but is now revealed by the Spirit to the apostles and prophets. Paul emphasizes that through the Gospel, Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, sharing in God's promise in Jesus Christ. He describes his unique role as a servant of the Gospel, which he proclaims by the gift of God's grace. Paul then prays for strength and understanding for the believers, emphasizing the vastness of Christ's love, which surpasses knowledge, and wants them to be filled with the fullness of God. The chapter concludes with a doxology, glorifying God who is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, according to His power at work within us.
