About the passage
Ephesians 3: The prisoner explains a purpose larger than his prison
The prisoner keeps explaining something too large for the prison to interpret. In chapter 3, the Book of Ephesians names the "mystery" plainly: Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ through the gospel. Revelation moves toward communication, not toward an elite circle guarding a secret. Paul describes his own commission as grace, then says the church itself makes God's manifold wisdom known even to heavenly powers. His tribulations therefore do not define the success or failure of the purpose he serves. The chapter then resumes the prayer interrupted at its opening. Paul asks for inward strength through the Spirit, Christ's settled dwelling, roots and foundations in love, and a shared comprehension of a love that "passeth knowledge." The doxology expands beyond asking and thinking, yet remains tied to the very prayer it has just finished.
