I. It is +a mystery+ it should be so long hid; a mystery, because when it was plainly revealed it was not understood by those to whom it was manifested; a mystery, for God was pleased to raise up a special apostle to explain and reveal, to make an epiphany of this great truth--the will of God that all men should be saved, that His Gospel should be universally known, should be open to all for acceptance. II. +Our share and fellowship in the work of the Gospel is to make all men see their interest in it,+ to make them understand its true catholicity, to make all men see that it is from the first the will of God that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs. By the Church is to be made known the manifold wisdom of God. Every member of the Church is to have his or her part in doing this work. We are all to take part in it by our lives, our conversation, our example, our good works and words. By availing ourselves of opportunities we are to help to make known this manifold wisdom of God. III. Think for a moment +what is the state of those men who do not know what is their fellowship with this mystery.+--I am not speaking of the entirely ignorant. Even religious people do not half understand or appreciate the deep meaning of such words as these. Christianity means expansion, comprehension; it embraces all, and all men must see in it what is the fellowship of the mystery that we have received and that has been made known to us. We must be a light that cannot be hid.--_Bishop Claughton._ _MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.--Verses_ 10-13. _The Manifold Wisdom of God_--
