This is a stunning revelation from Paul regarding the role of the Church in disseminating the manifold wisdom of God. The Church serves as the delivery vehicle for the diverse and multifarious knowledge of our infinite Heavenly Father. As a pastor, I truly feel the gravity and severity of this reality.
This truth should elevate the value of your local Church in your worldview. It is not merely an old-fashioned non-profit organization that holds services and does nice things. It is the very conduit through which God has chosen to impart His wisdom, will, and ways to mankind and angelic beings.
It has become trendy to deconstruct faith and criticize the Church. Sit with the gravity of this for a bit. No wonder God has called us to engage the culture around us, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,” through the Church. - Pastor Jimmy
