Isaiah - Verse By Verse

Walking through Ephesians - Day 49

Thought:  To me, we need to trust Paul's message as divinely inspired truth, with as much trust as God had in depositing it upon Paul.

Question:  Do we know where true insight (into the mystery of Christ) comes from?

Scripture:  Ephesians 3:4 (NIV):  "In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,"

Paul realizes the Ephesians, who know of his encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus, now see what he writes to them in depth:  that Christ has come to Paul, shown him many deep truths, the greatest of which is that Jews and Gentiles can be united as they become saved by the blood of Christ.  Paul's "insight" into the mystery of Christ is, of course, gifted to him by the Holy Spirit.

Prayer:  Father, thank You for gifting Paul, and other men like him, with the insights that have established Your Word, as given by the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
