Colossians 1:26-27 “The mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
WHAT IS MEANT BY “THE MYSTERY?”
Ephesians 3:6 “This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.”
WHO IS THE REVEALER OF THE MYSTERY?
Matthew 3:17 “And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.’ “
The Scene: A book– symbolic of the revelation of the mystery of Christ. Jesus came to earth as a man to save the world and to reveal His relationship with Father God, His Father. His coming in the flesh shows the world what Father God is like, “If you have seen Me you have seen the Father,” Jesus said.”
WHAT DID HE REVEAL?
Colossians 1:15-18 “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the the head of the body, the Church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.”
WHY A MYSTERY?
1 Corinthians 2:14-16 “The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
CONCLUSION:
1 Corinthians 2:8-10 “None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him’–but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.”
Jesus came to earth as a man to save the world from sin and to reveal His relationship with His Father, Father God: Jesus stated His mission and purpose more than once in the Holy Scriptures.
1 Timothy 3:16 “Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.”
There is much proof through antiquities that the above is true. Many, many discoveries have been found over the millenium that all of the Holy Bible is true.
Jesus want all His people, the saints, those born-again, the true Church, to know the truth of God and His plan for salvation. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
