The Mystery of the Wisdom of God ~
Introduction ~
Do you love a good mystery? If
so, then you should love reading the Bible. The
Scriptures are full of good mysteries!
An important factor to keep in mind when exploring Biblical mysteries is
that the word mystery in Scripture
has a root meaning of previously withheld.
Biblical mysteries were previously unexplained—but now are revealed to
God’s immediate family.
Scripture ~ “However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet
not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to
nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which
God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this
age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor
ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared
for those who love Him’” (1
Corinthians 2:6-9).
Comment ~ Spiritual
mysteries are understood only by the indwelling Spirit of God. The Cross of Calvary is the culmination of
the greatest event in history when God, the Son, came to earth lived a sinless life,
died as a substitute for our sins, and most importantly rose again – conquered His
physical death and the spiritual death of those who believe and obey. This mystery is about the Cross of
Calvary. The full implications of the
Cross cannot be understood purely by human means – understanding requires the
Spirit of God working in the heart of a man or woman.
The
Bottom Line ~ Will you study the Word of God and apply it
to your life? Or will you waste your
time on earth and the many opportunities which God gives to you. The mysteries of Scripture are revealed to
the children of God who seek to please Him.
As you comprehend the mysteries contained in the Word of God you will
possess understanding and wisdom with regard to current world events. Time is short, if you are not already on
God’s side, I urge you to climb on board before it is forever too late.
