TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 15 AUGUST 2024 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 15 August 2024, Thursday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Mystery Revealed
[The mystery is] that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel. – Ephesians 3:6
Recommended Reading: Isaiah 49:5-6
God promised to bless “all the families of the earth” through Abraham (Genesis 12:3). Gentiles would be blessed along with Jews; the Messiah would be “a light to the Gentiles” (Isaiah 49:6). And when the Jewish elder Simeon saw the baby Jesus, he recognized Him as “a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles” (Luke 2:32). So when Jesus described Himself as “the light of the world” (John 8:12), it should have been immediately understood by Jewish leaders. But it was not. The Jews did not see the Gentiles as fellow heirs of God’s blessings promised to Abraham.
But by the grace given to Paul, he made this mystery known: Gentiles are fellow heirs and partakers of God’s blessing through Christ (Ephesians 3:2-6). There were clues to this revelation in the Old Testament, but Jewish leaders did not have eyes to see what God purposed to do through Christ and His Gospel. Thanks be to God; this truth is no longer a mystery—the Gospel is for everyone!
Through faith in Christ, all men and women are united in one Body. Let nothing obstruct that unity and shared blessings!
[The Gospel is] the clear manifestation of the mystery of Christ.
John Calvin
