What is the Father Up To ?

Let's look again at what Jesus said to the disciples in John 15:15. "...a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends for all things that I heard from the father I have made known to you". He is making a direct comparison to the activity of his father. He has told them the plan his father was accomplishing (Ephesians 1:11).

We can see a portion of that plan in Ephesians 3:8-13. The father was in the process of making a special called out people to be a holy priesthood. They would be called the church, the body of Christ, and would be instrumental in making the majesty of God obvious to principalities and powers in heavenly places (1 Peter 2:9-10).

You are one of those priests.
