Unveiling The Mystery,

Ephesians 3:2-3 “ If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which
is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery; as I wrote afore in few words.”
Colossians 1:27” To whom God would make known what is the riches of the
glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of

“When I See Jesus, I
Understand - The Work
Has Been Done!”
Last week’s message –
“Moving Forward With Understanding!”
It is important to remember from Colossians 1:21-23:
• All of us at some time in life were separated from the favor
and blessings of God because we lived according to our
own minds and not Gods will.
• The price for redemption has been paid by the Son of God,
because we could not pay it.
• He now presents each of us to the Father unreprovable and
unblamable. Nothing, nor nobody can disqualify us.
• But only if we remain rooted and grounded in the faith.
 Seeing Jesus with an
understanding of what He has
accomplished on our behalf will
create within us a sense of
gratitude and thanksgiving
beyond measure.
• Hebrews 2:9-11 says, But we see Jesus, who was
made a little lower than the angles for the suffering
of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by
the grace of God should taste death for every man.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by
whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto
glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect
through sufferings. For both he that sanctified and
they who are sanctified are all of one; for which
cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.
The Historical View of the Text deals with three key
things, and it also gives us an angle in which we can
understand how the text applies to our lives now.
Remember what the Church was up against:
1. The persecution that had begun to take
place in the lives of the New Testament
believers.
2. The three area’s of failure: Government,
Religion, and Humanity.
3. God’s antidote for the problem. (Faith in
what He has made available.)
The antidote for the problem they were experiencing and the
antidote for what we will experience is in our getting a clear
understanding of what has been done and standing firm
upon it.
1. Jesus, the Son of God was brought into the world to suffer and die for the
sins of mankind. Vs. 9
2. He receives for his work, a crown of glory and honor, and a name above
all names. Vs. 9
3. He puts to the test the word of God, that we are all saved by Grace. By
Grace He tastes death for every man. Vs. 9
4. It was what the Father required, to qualify His Son to be the perfect
savior, through sacrifice and suffering. Vs. 10
5. For Him to past the test to be the Captain of our salvation. Vs. 10
6. Nothing else could make us one, with the Father, the Son, and the Spirit,
as they are ONE. Vs. 11
Results from what we see:
1. The overwhelming gratitude that allows one to be
thankful at all times for what God has done.
2. A reminder that keeps one steady during times of
testing.
3. A hunger and desire to represent God on the level
God has ordained for our lives.
4. A new vision of how we see ourselves.
5. A push to go the distance and not be held back by
yesterday’s flaws!
