Eph. 3 No wonder if Paul felt burdened by the difficulty of putting simply and clearly before believers such a wondrous sullied as that secret thought of God, hid from all eternity! When men said, " We will not have this man to reign over us," God was saying "I will bring out a secret thing wrapped up in my heart; I will have that One, whom you have put to death, with me on my throne, and I will gather out a people to whom He shall be the Head and they the members, joined to Him by living faith and sitting with Him in heavenly places." No wonder that Paul's heart labored to brine, it out in simplicity. Fellow-heirs! Fellow-heirs with whom? Who was heir to the inheritance? Who could point up to it and say, " In my Father's house are many mansions?" Only One could. That One who could re-arrange the whole heaven if He would. Only Christ the Beloved of the Father's bosom. The lot had fallen to Him. All belongs to Him, and He shares it with His body-co-heirs with Him.
