Ephesians 2 continued

I believe that verse 20 refers to God working through the prophets to give the Old Testament Scriptures and the apostles or very close followers I've Luke and Mark for the New Testament. As,always Paul brings the reader back to Christ as the cornerstone. As the people wanted more week launched into chapter 3. Paul describes himself as a prisoner, thus Ephesians is one of the 5 "prison" epistles. He goes on to explain one of the 12 mysteries of the New Testament. (according to the British scholar W.E.Vine) A NT mystery is something previously hidden by God which He then chooses to reveal. Verse 6 explains that the Gentiles have become one with the Jewish believers through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Verse 10 introduces an amazing revelation that God has chosen the Church to show His wisdom to the angelic and demonic entities, an eternal purpose through the Lord Jesus Christ. So we have access to God through faith. Finally Paul says his suffering in their glory because he is suffering for Christ.
