The Mystery of The Gospel
Main Point:
We are all called to be ministers/stewards of the Gospel, whatever your gifting, we are to build the kingdom by dispensing the Word of God to all with no restrictions
We are to specifically tell of the fellowship of believers [the church],
of the available wisdom through Christ and know the depth of that wisdom and love
We are called by God to Preach to all so to Grow ourselves and then share with purpose with others
in this way God starts the work in us to tell them about Christ so that others will grow in him for the eternal purpose of Heaven.
Minister of the Gospel - vs.1-5
Paul proclaims that his mission is to minister to the Gentiles,
God has revealed the mystery of the church,
so believers are responsible to proclaim this mystery wherever God takes them
and should not be discouraged because of suffering.

WHO IS PAUL?
Paul has the Jewish Background
Revelation direct from Christ
Through the Gift and Inspiration of the Holy Spirit
Damascus Road,
Study with Barnabas
Study with Apostles
Paul put in the time in addition to the revelation
Paul glorified God, by Growing Himself in order to Grow Others
Good model for us
Illustration - in karate there is a saying “ never mastered” it is a statement that states the forever learning and improving.
it is said that your First Kata is your best because you have done that one the most.
it should always continue to improve.
you never stop learning the basics — you seek to improve everytime
There is a sense with our Christian Growth that should embrace that concept.
forever learning, never mastered,
keep on the basics,
focus on improving
— memorization - doctrine - practice
- eyes, feet, hip, hands
This process in our Christian Walk is:
making the commitment
Doing the learning
gaining the wisdom
preserving in struggle
Paul states “prisoner of Christ Jesus”
Committed to Christ -
Commanded by Christ to do HIS work
Serves Him Only
The original word is more like BONDED to - not like jailed —
Analogy would be a Prisoner of love — your love bond with your spouse
Paul states his Purpose
To bring the Gentiles to Christ- “to me for You”
To build the church based on Christ alone
To preach, teach and strengthen the Gospel
Paul is the overseer
Paul is the steward of the Gospel — caretaker, defender, protector, guide and rebuker of the Truth of Christ
Paul mission is to build the church based on Christ Jesus work on the Cross and to proclaim the grace that is the foundation of the Church
THIS is Paul’s Life -to proclaim and Care for the TRUE Gospel to shepherd and build the Bride of Christ --- His CHURCH
Paul is the First Under Shepherd of Christ — to take the Jewish and Gentile sheep and form them into a new Flock.
Paul confirmed the truth of prophesy from God to the Jews
Paul shared the truth of hope and grace with the Gentiles
1 Peter 4:10 “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
Funnel of Truth
Paul always appears to bring the complex to simple
it is like a funnel to the truth and Paul has the direction right [Diagram][on screen to display] paul has a gift to make the Truth become the only purpose.
Paul pushes away the leaves to see the fruit.
Sons of Man
Ephesians 1–3: Introduction, Translation, and Commentary on Chapters 1–3 (Notes)
all members of God’s people, but only specifically elect servants of God are meant
Application:
We - God’s elect (chosen) are all called to be prisoners and preachers of Christ
Paul is referring to us.. remember the Letter of Ephesians is written to Believers
used 93 times in the Book of Ezekiel
Here it is the Jews — and maybe even all humans --- it was prophesy but the real knowledge of Christ was not fully revealed.. BUT NOW IT IS>
Mystery of the Gospel - vs 6-11
The mystery of the Gospel is that God wants ALL to come to faith in Himself.
Jews and Gentiles joined in the New Nation
This is the point of the last message - Creation of a New Nation
to BE the first evangelist to lead the new nation - Christian
Verse 5 “…not made know to the sons of men...”
The Jewish of the OT, were not aware of this fully - Prophesy but not the Reality
They know exclusive, not inclusive Grace of God
They knew the Law, not Grace
they knew TO DO — but not the IT IS DONE
Paul is so encouraging in the Chapter.
He humbles and states his reality.
He lives for Christ, in Christ, and because of Christ
acknowledges that it ALL comes from Christ through the Spirit
He is the least — paul seeks the leadership of the Holy Spirit and submits to the church leaders --- in Antioch or Jerusalem
Paul prays, seeks, listens and seeks confirmation — other apostles
Then he states that he is to “preach…the unsearchable riches”
He is called to Education, Rebuke, Correct, Encourage ( 2 Tim 3:16)
This is based on REDEMPTION - the depth of the Grace of God
God “how about that thing in my past.... forgiven… yes but how about that other thing… forgiven.
You are NEW.
part of new nation for christ and not the world
We carry the past, God uses it for our Growth - but doesn’t count it again us.
This is a Riches that is beyond our understanding
We love Him so much we cannot help but share Him with others
This is part of God’s eternal plan and the GOOD NEWS the GOSPEL is that God in his time revealed Christ Jesus, the fulfillment of OT prophesy
--- it was an opening of a door that was promised for thousands of years to be open --- Paul is saying
--- ITS OPEN, we want you all to come in
