August 26 - Ephesians 3:9

August 26
Ephesians 3:9

Dear Christian friends,

As we enter into blessing #17 out of the nineteen blessings in the first three chapters in the Book of Ephesians, we learn that God has made known to believers in Christ the fellowship of His mystery. What then is that fellowship of that mystery?

 ⁹ and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; 

From the beginning - from the foundation of the world, Jesus, as part of the eternal Godhead, created the heavens and the earth - along with mankind being made in His image. As a preacher of the good news of Jesus, the Apostle Paul was called by God to reveal the "unsearchable riches" that believers can have when they come to accept Christ in their lives.  These unsearchable riches are the keys to the Kingdom of God - the revelation of the deep things of God's heart which are hidden in Christ. All of God's riches come to us through and because of Christ Jesus.

Understanding those mysteries means learning them as God reveals them to His children. God so desires to reveal these deep hidden things to us as we spend awesome quality time with the Him in His Word and in prayer, seeking to know His heart. You see, God truly wants to reveal His heart to us - as He waits for us to come to Him. While on this earth, however, we will never know, in its completion, His unsearchable riches because God is incomprehensible. But, the more time we spend with the Lord in our intimate time with Him, the more He will show us what He wants us to know. Then when we get to glory, we will experience all of God's unsearchable, incomprehensible riches to the fullest.

God is mysteriously incomprehensible and all of His unsearchable riches have been planned from the foundation of the earth. Experiencing them begins by coming to believe and trust in Christ as these riches are all centered around Him. As believers in Christ, we begin this journey knowing we have forgiveness of sins, love, peace and fulfillness in this life, along with eternal life with Him forever. For believers in Christ, God has then entrusted us to know and to be able understand these mysteries that was hidden in Him from the beginning of the ages. We can experience them in preview here on earth as we learn and experience God's will and His love. Then when we get to glory, God will reveal all of these unsearchable mysteries in completion as we experience all the blessings that come from it forever and ever.

Blessings,
