Ephesians 3:3,6

“the mystery…that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ…”

God reveals a “mystery” to Paul (something that had it not been revealed, could not have been discovered).

This is big stuff; we are given the chance to be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers in the promise of Christ. I think these are things we might often take for granted, assuming that God would give them to us, why not, right?

The Jews were God’s chosen people, now we can be part of that. It doesn’t say, however, that the Gentiles should be the only heirs. The Jews are not abandoned by God.
