Ephesians 3:8-12 (New Revised Standard Version)
8 Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; 10 so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have access to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him.
Summary:
Through Epiphany, we receive new knowledge, new wisdom, new revelation from God in Jesus Christ. In Ephesians, the Apostle Paul humbly receives and shares the “epiphany,” of God’s varieties of wisdom for the world. God has gifted us individually with divine wisdom to share with the whole body. When we bring our “wisdoms” together, we live in the fullness of God’s revelation!
Reflection Questions:
- What is a word, phrase or image that comes to mind when you read or hear the text?
- What does this scripture teach you about wisdom?
- What does God invite you to do, change or be through this passage?
