What Does Ephesians 3:9 Mean?
Paul's commission is 'to make all men see' the plan once hidden. The mystery, 'from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,' was kept in His own heart until now. Paul's task is to bring this ancient secret into the open light for all to behold.
God is named here as the One 'who created all things by Jesus Christ.' The same Lord at the center of the gospel was active in the making of all things. The plan of redemption is no afterthought but the unfolding of a purpose held by the Creator from the very beginning.
