Ephesians 3:6

Key Reflection

In Ephesians 3:6, Paul speaks about a mystery that was not revealed to previous generations but is now known through his apostles and prophets. The original audience would understand this as referring to the inclusion of Gentiles into God’s covenant people, something that was previously unknown in the context of Israel’s history. This new revelation underscores how the early Christian community had a unique understanding of God's plan for humanity, distinct from what had been known before.
