We’re going to continue on the book of Ephesians.
Last time we left off at (*/EPH 2:17/*), but let’s start reading from */EPH 2:14-18/*.
*I.
**/EPH 2:14-18/*
*A.
*Last time we said that */Jesus never came Himself/* */to the Gentiles/* */and/* */preached the Word/* of God, */but/* in (*/V 17/*) it */says/* that */He came and preached/* peace to you which were afar off.
*1. *Meaning the Gentiles.
*2. *Back in Jesus day, */when someone was sent in your name/*, */it was as good as you going/*.
*a.
*In (*/MARK 16:15/*) Jesus said to the disciples, “*/Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature/*.”
*b.
/If you continue/* */reading/* Jesus */great commission/* in (*/Mark 16 and in MATT 28/*) */you find out/* that */we are to go/* into all the world */and preach the Gospel/* */IN HIS NAME/*.
*B.
/When/* the */disciples/* */went to the Gentiles/* */and preached/* the Gospel to them, */they went in/* */the NAME OF Jesus/*.
*1. /According to their customs/* */it was as good as Jesus coming/*.
*2. /The message/* that was */preached to them/* */was the message of PEACE/*.
*a.
*But the word “*/Peace/*” here */means/* “*/Peace with God/*.”
*C.
*In (*/V 18/*) he says, “*/For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father/*”
*1. *(*/Hebrews 4:16/*) Says, “*/Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need/*.”
KJV
*a.
/We/* now */have access/* */to the father/*, */to the Throne of Grace/*.
*b.
/We can go to the Father/* */for fellowship/*, */to obtain mercy/*, */and/* to */find grace to help in time of need/*.
*i.
/Now we can go to the Throne of God/* */and experience His blessings/*.
*2. *(*/James 1:17/*) Says, “*/Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning/*.”
KJV
*a.
/It’s God’s plan that you have His very best/* and */He tells us where to receive it/*, */at the Throne of Grace/*.
*II.
**/EPH 2:19/*
*A.
/Before receiving Jesus/* as Lord and Saviour */we were strangers/* and foreigners */to the Household of God/*.
*1. *But */now/* */we are fellowcitizens/* with the saints.
Part of the family of God.
*B.
**/EPH 2:20/*
*1. *The “*/Apostles and Prophets/*” spoken of here */are/* */NT apostles and prophets/*.
*a.
/Some have said/* that they feel that the “*/Prophets/*” */mentioned here/* in this V */are/* the */OT/* and NT */Prophets/*.
*i.
*It */doesn’t make a/* whole lot of */difference/*, */but/* there is a */V in Romans/* that */leads me to think/* that the */Apostles and Prophets/* that laid the foundation */are/* */only NT apostles and prophets/*.
*b.
*Let’s look at it.
*/ROM 15:20/*
*i.
*In other words, what */Paul is saying/* is that */where Christ was not named/*, */there was no foundation laid/*.
*ii.
/Whether/* */it was where/* the */OT Prophets preached on not/*, */if Christ was not named there/*, there was */no foundation/* laid.
*2. *Let’s go back to */EPH 2:20/* (read)
*a.
/Jesus/* Christ is */the chief corner stone/* */to/* this */foundation/*.
*b.
/You can’t build this foundation without the Chief Corner Stone being in place/* */1st/*.
*i.
/After Jesus came/* then the Apostles and Prophets */could lay the foundation/*.
*C.
**/EPH 2:21-22/*
*1. /When/* */Jesus was crucified/*, the */veil/* */that separated/* the very presence of */God/* */from man/* */was ripped/* */in two/* from the top to the bottom.
*a.
/Not necessarily to let man in/*, */but actually to let the spirit of God out/* */to dwell in the hearts of man/*.
*b.
/In the OT/* */the/* */Spirit of the Lord/* */lived in a man made temple/*, but */now/* */Paul refers to us/* */as being that temple/* that contains the very presence of God.
*III.
**/EPH 3:1-2/*
*A.
/1st/* of all as we said before, */Paul wrote this letter/* */from/* a */prison/* in Rome.
*1. *It’s */interesting/* that */Paul said/* that he was a */prisoner/* */OF/* the Lord */Jesus/* Christ.
*a.
*He was */in prison because of preaching about Jesus/*.
Doing what God had him to do.
*b.
*There is */no greater fulfillment/* */than doing what God has told you to do/*.
*2. *In (*/V 2/*) */Paul talks about/* “*/The Dispensation of the Grace of God/*.”
*a.
*The Bible talks about */7 different dispensations/*.
*b.
/1st/* was the */Dispensation of Innocence/* which */started with Adam/*.
The */2nd/* Dispensation which */came after the fall/* was */Conscience/*.
This Dispensation */ended/* */with the Tower of Babel/*.
The */3rd/* Dispensation was that of */Human Government/* and that */ended with/* the */Flood/*.
*/4th/* was the */Dispensation of Promise/* which */started with Abraham/*.
The */5th/* Dispensation */started with Moses/* and it was the */Dispensation of the LAW/*.
The */6th/* Dispensation is the */AGE of GRACE/* or the */Church age/*, which we are living in now.
The */7th/* Dispensation is the age to come and that is the */Millennium/*.
*3. /During the different dispensations/*, */God/* has */approached man/* */in different ways/*, */but the way/* that */man reached God/* */has always been the same/*, */BY FAITH/*.
*a.
*Turn with me to */HEB 11/*
*i.
/In these Vs/* here that were going to read, */each/* */person represents a different Dispensation/*.
*b.
**/HEB 11:4a/*, */5a/*, */7a/*, */8a/*, */24a/*,
*i.
*Then in */HEB 11:6/* it says… (read)
*ii.
/The way that we come to God/* */is always BY FAITH/*.
*iii.
