Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God… To make all men see, that is, to teach all men the fellowship of the mystery, which, from the beginning of the world, hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. That is the duty of the Church. She is the teacher, the educator, the civilizer, the regenerator of the nations. Our text in this 9th verse reads "fellowship," but the better reading is "dispensation." Paul would teach all men to know something of the dispensation of the hidden mystery, and he asserts it was hidden in God from the beginning of the world. This 9th verse, then, teaches the following facts and truths: — 1. It is a great thing to be a preacher of the gospel. 2. Paul was the preacher and apostle of the Gentiles. 3. The union of the Jews and Gentiles in one body is a great mystery. 4. This mystery was hidden in God from the beginning of the world. 5. God created the world through the agency of Jesus Christ.These things the Church is to teach. Her duty is to teach all men, to make all men see the glories of the economy of grace. (W. Graham, D. D.)
