Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 3:1-13 (day seven)
By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ. vs 4
The word mystery carries a dark tone in the English language. We liken it with words such as conundrum, enigma, and secrecy. By definition it means something that is difficult or impossible to understand. The Greek word here mysterion similarly is secretive, but it leaves room for something to be discovered. It is hidden from our human minds, but with revelation from the divine, we might come to understand it more. There is hope in this mystery.
“God works in mysterious ways” may be a popular idiom in our culture, but it cannot be found in scripture. God does not try to keep secrets from us or work behind our back. Just like His insight to the Ephesians, God will reveal His plans to us when we are faithful to seek His will. The closer we get to Jesus, the mystery will be replaced with insight. There is hope in this mystery!
