The Gospel is a great mystery, but not in the sense you might expect. As he explores Paul's words in Ephesians 3:1-6, Alistair Begg reminds us that the Gospel is not a puzzle that can be solved by human deduction or reason, but a wonder that can only be known by the life-giving work of the Holy Spirit. The mystery of Christ is that Jews and Gentiles alike can be brought near to God as members of one Body through the work of Jesus.

While a prisoner of Rome, Paul wrote to the Ephesians desiring that his readers would know God and be united to Christ. Despite his unfavorable circumstance, Paul considered himself a prisoner for Christ and the Gentiles, and his letter conveys a tone of exultation toward God, not agitation or resignation at his situation. In this message Alistair Begg encourages listeners to live in light of God’s providence, understanding that our circumstances are appointed by God so that, like Paul, we may make the Gospel known to all people.
