THE MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD
*EPHESIANS 3:7-10
Whereof I was made a minister, according to …the effectual working of his power. Unto me, …is this grace given, that I should preach…the unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see …the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, … To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God*
Paul shares so many wonderful things with us in our text above. As a believer in Christ, God has made you a minister of the Gospel, and the mighty power of His Spirit is working effectually in you to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ. The unsearchable riches of Christ refer to everything Christ has done and provided by His death, burial and resurrection. Unsearchable here means infinite and inexhaustible. These things Christ has provided for us are super-abundant, so glorious, and so wonderful. It’s as we preach these things that the power of God is manifested (Rom. 1:16) and believers are changed by the Spirit, from glory to glory, into the image of Christ (2 Cor.3:18).
God wants us to preach the Gospel of Christ so much, that people will be able to clearly ‘see’ and understand this glorious mystery He planned from the beginning of the world, (Rev. 13:8). Christ is the wisdom and the power of God, (1Cor. 1:24). Therefore, the manifold wisdom of God which Paul speaks of in our text above, is the many sides or dimensions of the life and glory of Christ. God plans that through the church (you and me), principalities and powers and the entire universe, will see the many sides and dimensions of the life and glory of Christ. We will manifest the life of the glory of Christ in all areas of our lives and all fields and spheres of influence in society. Keep preaching the Gospel!
PRAYER:
FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME A MINISTER OF THE UNREACHABLE RICHES OF CHRIST. USE ME TO MAKE MEN SEE CHRIST IN THEM.*
