As a faithful minister of the Gospel, Paul focused on the task set before him: to preach in such a way that blind eyes would be opened to the light of the truth. Alistair Begg places this responsibility in the context of Christian mission, reminding us that the God who called Paul to the ministry is the same God who reigns and rules over all things. As the Church is built through the ministry of the Word, God displays His purposes through His people and points forward to the day when His kingdom will come in glory.

In Ephesians 3, Paul established his identity as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, explaining to his readers that this was not a role he chose for himself, but one to which he had been called by the grace of God. Paul exercised humility in response to God’s grace toward him, but also understood that his responsibility to preach Christ came with authority given by God Himself. Alistair Begg reminds us that God’s calling is directly related to His plan, and God equips His people for ministry with the grace that He provides.

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.
