Episode Synopsis

In this passage, Paul explains his special role in God's plan. He begins by identifying himself as a prisoner for Christ on behalf of the Gentiles. He reveals that God entrusted him with the "mystery" — that Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Paul emphasizes that this mystery was previously hidden but is now revealed through the Spirit to the apostles and prophets. He describes his ministry as a gift of God’s grace, given to him to preach to the Gentiles the "unsearchable riches of Christ" and to reveal God's plan for the church, which demonstrates God’s wisdom to all creation.
