A MYSTERY
Have read many a mystery in my lifetime. John Grisham. Jonathan Kellerman. Mary Higgins Clark. Sue Grafton. Max Brand. Do western mysteries count, too? Generally, a mystery is the unraveling of a story in an intriguing way. However, there is another type of mystery. Mystery applies to what cannot be fully understood by human reason, or less strictly, to whatever resists or defies explanation. It should not be surprising that the Bible uses the word MYSTERY numerous times.
"And without controversy great is the MYSTERY of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." 1 Tim 3:16. "But we speak the wisdom of God in a MYSTERY, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." 1 Cor 2:7,8. "Even the MYSTERY which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints: To whom God would make known the riches of this MYSTERY among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" Col 1:26,27. This is participation in the economy of God!
"This is a great MYSTERY: but I speak of Christ and the church." Eph 5:32. "That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the MYSTERY of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Col 2:2,3. "Behold, I shew you a MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be CHANGED, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be CHANGED." 1 Cor 15:51,52. Becoming and being a CHRISTIAN is just a glorious beginning... God's MYSTERIES unfold before us. Plain and simple... With an invitation to participate!
