There are many mysteries in the Bible. A mystery is a previously unrevealed truth or understood truth. One mystery is God becoming flesh and blood, just like us, with all our weaknesses. That is truly incomprehensible.
Hebrews 2:14: “Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same,”
Another mystery is us being transformed into the image of Jesus. Wow, that one is hard to grasp, for sure.
Philippians 3:20-21 “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.”
But the greatest mystery is Jesus living in us now. It is easy to say and write, but do I really get it? Almighty God is living in me.
Colossians 1:27: “To whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode in him.”
As I ponder that mystery to try and get it clear in my thinking, I wonder what that means practically for me in my day-to-day living and if I am experiencing the full power and blessing I should be experiencing as a person walking around with God in him.
