1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 12/2/25
"This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 3:6
In his Holman New Testament Commentary on Ephesians, Max Anders helps us understand why Paul repeatedly emphasizes the oneness of the body… It’s because Jews and Gentiles worshiping together was such a miracle… For example, a Jew would walk 150 miles out of his way to avoid going through Samaria! It was a truly revolutionary time in the church.
Read the entire 3rd chapter of Ephesians and note where Paul says, “For this reason,” and “Therefore”. It will help you better understand verses that we often read or recite out of context.
In His Love, Cindy

Amen, Cindy. I just finished reading all of Ephesians 3. I think of all that Paul was going through at that time and the history of the non-existence of communion between Gentiles and Jews. WOW! Praise God Paul was revealed the mysteries of Christ and the LONG WALKS were miraculously wiped so that HIS Word could be shared in fellowship! Oh, how I wish our own citieis, counties, and country could unite in the TRUTH and THE WAY!
Finn and I send our love daily, Cindy, to you and Henry. God bless you and all you do to grow the Kingdom! There’s nothing like living in the New Covenant way with Christ and the full indwelling of the Holy Spirit! ❣️❤️🙏🏻

It would be a beautiful thing if the world would unite in Truth. But we know that is not where the world is headed. Still, we continue to pray for those who don’t know Jesus. He is the way, and the truth, and the life! God bless you today, Karla! Sending my love and prayers to you, dear friend! Thank you for the encouragement you bring to me and so many others! 🙏💕🐾
