God’s Secret plan of Salvation Seen in His Saints

In Ephesians 3:1–13 Paul says that the mystery that’s been hidden for ages is being revealed in the church—that mystery is the coming together of all peoples in Christ. It’s unification without coercion—conquest by compassion. The Church is made up of Jew, Gentile, slave, free, man, woman, rich, and poor, all found to be one in Christ. This is the picture of the end of the world. And it is a glorious end to which we are headed. The Church gets there first, and we bring the world with us.
