3:1 For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you, 3 how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. 4 When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
Being a Gentile in the OT meant you were nothing in God's Kingdom, only the Jews were God's special people. But now Paul reveals something pretty wonderful. Through Christ, Gentiles are no longer nobodies, they've been adopted into God's Kingdom!!! Wonderful news, especially for me and you. We have the same promise that the Jews of the OT had, we have a Saviour who took our sins on Himself, died, was buried, rose again, and now sits at God's right Hand to help US, to mediate for us so we can have a relationship with God again. No longer do we have to talk to a High Priest in order to talk to God our Father! GOOD NEWS - spread it!
