What does the mystery of Christ refer to in Ephesians?

Answered in 1 source

The mystery of Christ refers to the revelation of God's plan of salvation for both Jews and Gentiles through Jesus.

In Ephesians 3, the 'mystery of Christ' unveils God's redemptive plan that includes all people, not just the Jews. This mystery signifies that Gentiles are to be fellow heirs in the promise through the gospel. The inclusion of Gentiles was previously hidden but is now made known through Christ’s work and the preaching of the Apostles, as they were empowered by the Holy Spirit. Paul articulates this mystery to highlight the unity of believers in Christ, regardless of their ethnic or social background, emphasizing the comprehensive reach of God's grace.
