Where was the fellowship of the mystery hidden from the beginning of the world?
The fellowship of the mystery, this body of truth, was hidden from the beginning of the world in the mind of God, who created all things by Jesus Christ. It was not made known to the sons of men as it is now revealed; God kept the secret until He was ready to reveal it.
Les explains that Ephesians 3:9 calls for making all men see or understand what is the fellowship of the mystery. This body of truth, he says, was hidden from the beginning of the world in the mind of God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
