Who did the Lord use to start calling out the Body of Christ?
The Lord used the Apostle Paul to start calling out the Body of Christ, the Church. Paul received the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, and deeper doctrines came out especially in his prison epistles to establish believers in this age.
Les explains that the mystery, the whole circle of Paul's doctrines, was kept secret until God revealed them to this man. Most came out during the three years at Sinai, with deeper revelations in Ephesians. Les takes us to Ephesians 3 to show Paul getting to the place where the Lord could use him to start calling out that next great body of resurrection, the Body of Christ, the Church. The text doesn't say it came by Jesus Christ, Peter, James, and John, or Abraham, but to Paul. Les illustrates with a man at his kitchen table who read Ephesians 3:1-2 several times before seeing that the Holy Spirit inspired the Apostle Paul to say this grace of God was given to him for the believers. Les advises new believers to read Paul because this is where it's at for the church age.
