Worship this Sunday at 9:30 AM: The author of the Epistle to the Ephesians gives a mission statement for his writings in chapter 3: “this grace was given to me to bring to the gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.”
What a bold and ambitious mission statement! To reveal a mystery to everyone! 2,000 years later, we might question how hidden the mystery of faith really is. Do we understand God as Mystery? How do we go about unveiling the mystery of Grace in the here and now? And is our faith truly revealed in having the right answers or in asking the right questions? So much to discuss here. This is also a Communion Sunday, so if you’re streaming from outside the sanctuary, you might want to have bread and juice prepared for yourselves.
