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
