Great is the Mystery of God.

Great is the Mystery of God.

We are blessed, truly blessed. We all have been born into an age that has had the mystery of God revealed. I can take the word of God and study its truths along with the vast written history of the world and by the Holy Spirit's enlightenment I can find within the mystery of God unfolded.

People are often heard to wish that they were alive when Christ Jesus walked the earth during His three year ministry. While I won't deny there is a certain longing to have known Jesus in the flesh, I have to admit that there is a blessing in living now when the prophecies have been opened to us and history proves so much that by not knowing Jesus it is truly a bold choice to keep blinded.

Right this moment in my time, it what will become history as time progresses, there are people all over the world being imprisoned, ridiculed, tortured, and killed because they choose to belief the mystery of God revealed to them.

They have had their hearts touched, their minds enlightened to the hope found only in Jesus Christ, a hope of a future without hatred, without evil in any form. The grasp hold of that hope of a life far different from the one they were born into. By believing in Jesus Christ- God with us- dying in the flesh and being raised up- all so we could live in the hope of His salvation, they choose to no longer live for this world. They hear of the hope and know the future offered by Christ is worth dying for, it is worth suffering for.

While so many, the majority of the world in fact, believe to die for a belief in Christ Jesus is a very stupid thing to do, the believers know it is a better life they die for.

Why can't the majority comprehend the mystery? Because they choose blindness, they choose deafness and they do so because the seductions of the -present life- be they few or many- have overtaken them.

1Ti 3:16  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. 

God manifest in the flesh- Jesus.

Justified in the Spirit- Jesus.

Seen of angels- Jesus.

Preached to the Gentiles- Jesus.

Believed on in the world- Jesus.

Received up into glory- Jesus.

1Ti 3:9  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 

The mystery of faith- Jesus.

2Jn 1:9  Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 

The doctrine of Christ-

Mat_24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

The gospel of the kingdom is the doctrine of Christ.

Mat 13:11  He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 

Mat 13:12  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 

Mat 13:13  Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 

Mat 13:14  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 

Mat 13:15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 

Mat 13:16  But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 

Mat 13:17  For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 

We are blessed!

Rom 16:25  Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 

Rom 16:26  But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 

Rom 16:27  To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

The preaching of Jesus Christ… let Jesus Christ be REAL to us so much so, we live our lives in the HOPE of Him not in the hope of ourselves.

All through the love of God!
