Ephesians 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 3:4

Whereby when ye read
The above chapters, and seriously consider what is contained in them:

ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ
of his person, office, and grace; and which knowledge was very large indeed.

Ephesians 3:4 In-Context

2 I take it that you're familiar with the part I was given in God's plan for including everybody.
3 I got the inside story on this from God himself, as I just wrote you in brief.
4 As you read over what I have written to you, you'll be able to see for yourselves into the mystery of Christ.
5 None of our ancestors understood this. Only in our time has it been made clear by God's Spirit through his holy apostles and prophets of this new order.
6 The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I've been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God. They get the same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus. The Message is accessible and welcoming to everyone, across the board.
