There was an ancient red Indian tribe that called God the ‘great mystery’. That is a wonderful name for God, and actually it is in the Holy Bible. Of course they were not Christians and they were not walking in fellowship with the Lord, However they called God the “great mystery” because they wondered what it was that kept the planets in orbit. They looked at the obvious laws in nature and they assumed that when there were laws they had to be a law-maker. Just as if there is a creation there must be a creator, so the presence of order and laws demanded that there be a law-maker. They asked, “Who is this great mystery that has put laws in place that keep the planets in their courses and keeps spring summer autumn winter in such a regular cycle. How did everything in creation get to be governed by strict laws in a world where sometimes events are very random and can be damaging to us? Who is the great mystery who put all these things in order and holds everything together?.
Then they asked the questions,”What is the purpose of life and where is it all going to and what is the final conclusion to the universe? “ They asked, “ Where does it all come from and what is the source of everything that exists?” Yes they called this the GREAT MYSTERY Then they asked, “What is the nature of this Great Mystery? If we would come into his presence what would we experience and what would He be like. Today, as Christians we know who the GREAT MYSTERY is! the Great Mystery is none other than our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ who was in the bosom of the Father but now is no longer hidden but he has been revealed to us!
Hidden In The Father’s Bosom
God the Father has had one hidden in his bosom since the very inception of Eternity. The one hidden in the Father’s bosom who is the beautiful wonderful magnificent great mystery. Before the worlds were created or even time existed God the Father had a wonderful one hidden in his bosom. He is Jesus Christ our Lord who was with The Father in the beginning and who was the reason for everything. He is the beautiful, wonderful glorious and magnificent one that was manifested to us in the flesh and seen to be full of grace and truth as he walked this earth. Christ Is Now the mystery revealed. Once he was the mystery concealed but now Christ Jesus is the mystery revealed. It was he he who put the stars in space and ordered the planets in their courses. He was the one who created every little tree and flower and every mighty invisible angel it being and all that is. He is the one who holds everything together haha is the complete and glorious great mystery
HE WHO LOVED AND WASHED US
Jesus! It is he who loved and washed us. The last book of the Bible is called The Book of Revelation. It is all about the unveiling of the lord Jesus Christ. The word revelation in the Bible is the Greek word apocalypse and that literally means the unveiling. So the last book of the Bible (the book of unveiling) of Jesus Christ speaks about this wonderful mystery who has been revealed to us. We read in chapter 1, verse 6 ……
Rev 1: 5(b) and 6 – To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
AN AWESOME STORY
The original Greek language of scripture imports that he always loved us. It is telling us that he always ( that is continually) loves us. His Love is so great that He sacrificed himself up on the cruel cross and washed us from our sins in his precious blood. Praise God for the grace of Jesus that washed our sins in his own blood. But that’s not all the scripture tells us. It tells us that he made us a kingdom of priests. Every single one of us is a royal priest. I’ve got an awesome story to tell you.
Made A Priest By Jesus
When a man is born again he or she is actually made a priest by Jesus. One year, when I had finished preaching the gospel in the Philippines I was flying back home to the UK and waiting in Manilla airport . Sitting next to me was a man who said that he was previously a Roman Catholic priest, but he had been removed from the priesthood. One night he had gone out with a group of priest friends and they had all got drunk. They all were put under discipline but they got away free except this man. He was thrown out of the priesthood. I said to him, “ Today my friend God can make you a true priest” and I opened my bible and took him to this beautiful verse in revelation 1:6. I told him that there and then sitting at the airport as he met Jesus he could be made a king and a priest. He listened to the message of salvation and he was saved and born again of God spirit. When I arrived home and switched on my computer I found an email from him in which she told me that what had happened to him and his life at the airport had been the greatest thing that had ever happened in his life. His life was completely changed he was given the gift of Eternal Life and he was a new creature praise God.
