Sunday: Paul ~ Imprisoned Apostle to the Gentiles
Read Ephesians 3:1-21. As you do so, identify one or two main themes. What major points does Paul make?
Ephesians chapter 3 displays an interesting structure. Paul begins the chapter with these words: “For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles” (Ephesians 3:1, NKJV).
Then, he breaks off for what turns out to be a lengthy digression focused on his work as apostle to the Gentiles (Ephesians 3:2-13). After the aside, he signals a return to his original train of thought by repeating the phrase, “For this reason” (Ephesians 3:14, NKJV), with verses 14-21 providing his interrupted prayer report.
In Ephesians 3:1, Paul identifies himself as “the prisoner of Christ Jesus” (NKJV), his way of arguing that though he may reside in Roman captivity and appear to be under the authority of the Roman Empire, there is a deeper, divine purpose being worked out in his life. He is not the prisoner of Rome but “the prisoner of Christ Jesus”! (compare Ephesians 4:1).
Paul’s mention of his “suffering” (Ephesians 3:13, ESV), and his later mention of his chains (Ephesians 6:20, ESV), suggest that he is not under relatively comfortable house arrest (compare Acts 28:16) but is in prison. Being in prison in the first century and in a Roman dungeon was especially challenging. The Roman Empire did not run well-organized prisons with sanitary facilities and regular meal service. In fact, the empire had little need for prisons since incarceration was not used as a means of punishment. People were placed in prison only while they awaited trial or execution. Prisoners were expected to provide for themselves and were dependent on relatives and friends to supply food and other needs.
Paul’s worries perhaps center on the emotional impact of his imprisonment on believers, since being a prisoner was an extreme social disgrace in the context of an honor-shame culture. He might fear that some will ask, “How can Paul be the apostle and messenger of the exalted Christ and be a despised prisoner?” So he reframes his imprisonment, helping believers to see it as part of God’s plan. He is suffering for them (“suffering for you,” ESV) and what appears to be a source of shame will in fact turn out to be for their “glory” (Ephesians 3:13).
How can we learn to trust God and His ways amid what can be very trying circumstances? |
