There is a fascinating key word in our text, the word mystery. In Ephesians we first saw it in 1:9. Here's what we saw back then:
Ephesians 1:8b–10: In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. . . .
God has chosen to reveal to us by His own desire and predetermination, His formerly hidden mystery as to the summing up of all things in Christ. Made known to us the mystery means that in Christ we now have revelation of things not known in Old Testament times. In our trip through Ephesians, we are stopping at a pullout along the highway to take in a majestic view as far as the eye can see.
