Clarify the great wisdom of God shown in God’s salvation plan.

Why is there a church? Why did God sent Jesus, His Son, to the earth? It wasn’t because of an accident. God was making known His wonderful wisdom. There was a great plan from before the earth came into being.

Ephesians 3:8-13: Video | Audio

Questions

• In verse 8 Paul continues to focus on himself. Notice ‘to me’ and ‘the very least of all saints.’ Read one of the three testimonies of Paul’s salvation in the Book of Acts (Acts 9, 22, 26) and explain in what sense is he one of the ‘very least of all saints.’ Do you think it is true?
  

• What does Paul mean by ‘the unfathomable riches of Christ’ in verse 8? Refer to Ephesians chapters 1-2 as necessary. Does his oft used word ‘grace’ refer to the same thing? Explain.
  

• How does Paul summarize his calling in verse 9? Write it out in your own words.
  

• Look in verse 10 to find out why God had called Paul to proclaim this message to the Gentiles? Explain verse 10. Who might the rulers and authorities be?

• What is the wisdom of God?

• How is it seen here in these verses?
