Mystery Made Known Ephesians 1:9-10, Psalm 73
Reminder About Grace • We’re trying to see things from God’s perspective. He doesn’t hold men’s sins against them. • Grace breeds grace, not sin. • Grace is lavish, it bridges the biggest gap and pays the biggest debt.
A Non-Grace Perspective • Psalm 73 – Asaph sees the world and he almost slipped. Injustice is everywhere. • Without grace this world, and our lives, makes no sense and holds no hope. • We need to see the whole plan. God was delighted to share it with us. (1 Corinthians 2: 6-10)
All Things Together Under Christ • The end is unity under Christ. That is and always has been God’s perspective. • There are things we haven’t submitted to Christ or have reclaimed from Him. • There’s no mediocrity in total submission to Christ. • There is no room for fear in the plan.
