Ephesians Introduction: Paul begins to pray for the Ephesian Kingdom Advancers in 3:1, but he takes a short interlude [3:2-13] to describe for them how God has revealed himself to them and given them the mystery of Christ to take to the world. Paul’s Intercessor Identity “For the sake of you Gentiles” Paul was called by Christ to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. Acts 22:21-22 When he spoke this call to the Jews in Jerusalem, they shouted, “rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live.” Why? The Jews couldn’t see themselves united with the Gentiles under God.

Now, look at Ephesians 5:3-7… In what ways are these lists evidence that here in our world, Paul’s challenge is relevant? Jot down a couple ways you are a “child of the light (5:8).” Home Questions for Week 5 Stage One. Paul receives revelation from God [3:1-7] “the mystery made known to me by revelation” [3:3] What is the mystery? [3:4] “mystery of Christ”. [3:5] it’s a mystery because it wasn’t revealed until now. [3:6] In Christ Jesus and through the gospel the gentiles are now to become fellow heirs (with Israel), members of the same body, and sharers in the same promise. The Old Testament describes Israel
