We continue to talk about the grand mystery of Scripture which Paul talks about in Ephesians 1:9. This mystery, focused on the centrality of the preeminence of Jesus Christ and His redemptive work upon the cross, has been made known to us by God. In this lesson, we discuss what it means for this mystery to be made known to us, and discover that not only is it an extension of God’s grace, but it is revealed in a personal way.
