The Mystery of Christ is that Gentiles are fellow heirs, of the same Body and partakers of the promises of the gospel.

That doesn’t seem like big news to us today, but there’s this super interesting bit that this mystery was revealed to God’s servants and now, through the church, is being revealed to the authorities in the heavenly places. God keeps His plans hidden until it’s time for them to be revealed. It’s not just humans that He’s thinking about. There are enemy forces and God won’t reveal too much of the plan before its time.

He reveals His plans to us. He reveals His will to us. He reveals Himself to us. He wants us to know Him. Christ removed the veil so that we can get close to God. We have access to God. We can learn from Him. We have boldness before the throne, not fearing for our lives, only because of the cleansing blood of Jesus and His overcoming power at work in us and His keeping mercy.

Paul blesses the church. Here’s my version of it written as a prayer.

Father, grant us, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; root and ground us in love, that we may be able to comprehend together what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Paul says, “that you may be filled with all the fullness of God,” but that “you” is plural. This isn’t just about you. It’s about us. We’re not going to be filled with the fullness until we all are filled with God’s presence. We are complete in Christ when our number is complete and when all the elect are united in one Spirit.

God is able to unite His people as one in His fullness. He is able to do more than we can imagine. Don’t put limits on Him by asking only for small specific things. Ask for His grand plan to be carried out and offer yourself to Him to be part of it.
