Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ephesians 1:9-10

"making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say,]" — Ephesians 1:9-10 (ASV)

Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

There are things in Christ in heaven, and there are things in Christ on earth; but all the things in Christ shall be gathered together. All the redeemed shall come as one great host to bow before the throne of the infinite Majesty.

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself; that in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:9–10).

Everything that is in Christ shall be gathered in; all his chosen, all that the Father gave him, all that he has redeemed by blood, all that he has effectually brought into union with himself shall be gathered together in one. There shall be one flock under one Shepherd.
