Open the deep study guide“Paul appears to have had this very prayer in mind when he wrote verse 28, deliberately reversing each of those three distinctions. What the culture used to rank people, the gospel erases as a basis for division.”
Open the deep study guide“Paul is saying that Jesus is our royal presenter, our access point, our introduction to the Father. Without him, the audience chamber is closed. Through him, the door is permanently open.”
