Ephesians 3:10 is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. Paul states that God displays His wisdom to the angels through His work in the church. If ever there were a reason to value the local church, this is it.
Paul repeatedly mentions “the mystery” in these chapters. For hundreds of years, the Jewish people had been studying the words of the prophets, singing the psalms, and learning the history from the Old Testament without a clear understanding of what it meant. God kept this a secret, or mystery, until the answer was revealed in Jesus Christ. Suddenly all the answers to all the prophesies and predictions were answered, including the promise that salvation would be open to Gentiles as well as Jews.
