1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version. (2016). (Eph 1:9). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society.
Game changers make a significant impact on our life. A new invention, a new partnership, a loss of a leader, or other significant changes can result a paradigm shift with tantamount implications. For the world of organized religion, particularly Old Testament Judaism, there was a long standing culture and practice instilled in their tradition. The incarnation of Christ through His death, burial, and resurrection changed the game for eternity. The temple veil was torn, the Gentile exclusion was abolished, and the message of hope was sent to the uttermost by God’s appointed. The extent of the gospel and an understanding of God’s purpose and plan are the mysteries reveled that are implied in Ephesians 1:9. His plans were established before the foundation of the world, and were revealed in Christ. His desire for a unified relationship with man gives hope for us today.
