Ephesians 3:1-13 KJV
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Dispensation of grace meaning, Paul had the authority given to him by God to be a steward, or administrator of the word of God. Not a gift bestowed by man but of God. He was orignally a priest in the Jewish faith and student of God's word tell Christ called him on the road of Damacus. He knew it was his duty to share the love of Christ as Christ had shown the world and his disciples who followed him while he walked the earth. Jesus knew no stranger, and his enemies were apparent to the world, as well as those from all walks of life that came to talk to Jesus as a friend. Paul desire to share the same love even among the gentile nation and not just his Jewish brethern. We call the hoboes of this world the hobo nation, the term nation being loosely because the ones that travel openly even if they have a home, go in search of something they truly can not find, or are people forced to live in the streets and travel through hoping to find a place to rest. The Gentile nation was anyone not Jewish, just like hobo nation is anyone living a traveling life style across our nation. Our nation is made up of many nations with in it. Asian and mixture of race in america has made into the executive branch not by the race card, but because of the acceptance of their work quality among the people. Race card in politiics never got anyone a real vote into office. It however does state in general of how the public feels about qualification in office of political nature are more important. Race should never be used in public statement of victory, it should be based on qualification, ability and leadership. Paul being Jewish is state more then once. His known priesthood in the Jewish faith mention once including who his teacher was. His call of God is not based on the fact he was Jewish but that he was called by God to be first a christian through his experience on the road of the Damacus and called to share that experience with the world. Who he was beyond that only demonstrated his knowledge of the Old Testament and also the education of the prophets and apostles he meet in relation to who Christ is. His education coming from not only experience but actual text book(scrolls). Yet none of these things matter but his knowledge of how to love, to teach the love of God to the people and to help them to know God's grace through his witness, and the witness of those that traveled with him.

Christ message was to all people and Paul continue to teach this truth to the church, they were not to so segregate themselves to the point they only thought they were to know Christ and no one else could know Christ. Jewish nation at the time of Christ witness to the gentiles only came through those priest like John the Baptist who were called to prepare the people for going to the temple through baptism. Preaching the Kingdom of God was at hand and the need for repentance and baptism as people went towards Jerusalem. John call was to be the forerunner of Christ, he was also speaking to more then just Jews. He was speaking to all sorts of people about baptizism and repentance. Paul message was the love of Christ was for all people, whether Jew, Greek or Gentile it matter not. This is important to the spread of the Gospel but also to reception of the message of Christ. His call to be minister of faith came with the knowledge of Christ, before he persecuted the church.

Some people are called to full time evangelism and some to the inner workings of the church. Both are important to maintain growth in the church, but also keeping a balance of love flowing into the church from people from all walks of life. Clicks and social groups that segregate become closed mind and bigots to the true love of Christ to people. Gentiles were to called to be Christians, called to be ministers of faith, to be believers in the house of God. Called to be saved by dispensation of God's marvelous grace. God called us all to his grace and mercy, yet not all will receive his free gift of his Son, who redeemed us by his work on the cross. No good works of faith will get a man into heaven only belief in Christ Jesus. Key to the door of salvation being Jesus. It matters not who they are. If they called to God's grace and receive it, they are children of God and equal in faith to all other believers. All growing in the knowledge of Christ Jesus. Let us not hold one person back from hearing the gospel of grace. Not one sinner is exempt of the need of Christ and God's love that comes through his word and promises of his Son and Holy Spirit. Two free gifts receiving in order of faith first his word and this his Spirit. The understanding of truth coming by his power and might.

Dear Heavenly Father you have called the world to your grace, let us share it with those in need of faith. in Jesus precious name, Amen.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
