The theology of Paul: You will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ. Ephesians 3:4

in theology •  2 years ago 

Paul's theology is the theology of the mystery of Jesus, a mystery that the apostle himself witnessed. This man began as a persecutor of Christians and eventually became the greatest preacher of the Christian faith in the pagan world.
And to better understand this we have to know that the love of Jesus, the love projected towards the whole creation of God (Agape), is a love that does not take into account the damage received and is always ready for forgiveness and mercy, in this way is the unconditional love as the apostle explained in his first letter to the Corinthians: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs" 1 Corinthians 13:4-5.
Who better than Paul to teach the word of our Lord Jesus, who received such great grace and mercy (compassion, kindness, gentleness), the Kingdom of God, the dominion or empire of God's perfections, is paradoxical, it is the servant of all because at the same time it is sovereign.
With these words Paul in the letter to the Ephesians affirmed his authority in the grace received, an undeserved charisma, but that God for the gratuitousness of his love gave it to him:
"Surely you have heard about the administration of God's grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets" Ephesians 3:2-5.
Paul concluded his reasoning by explaining that this mystery, which is essentially a uniting force, is to make everyone part of the same spiritual body with Jesus as head.
