The Greatest Mystery In The World!

The apostle Paul writes:

Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you,

And I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions,

[Christ's afflictions go on in every generation,

Until the last saint is killed for Christ and He returns.]

For the sake of His body, which is the Church.

I have become its servant by the commission God gave me

To present to you the Word of God in its fullness--

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.

We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom,

So that we may present everyone PERFECT in Christ.

To this END I labor, struggling with all His energy,

Which so powerfully works in me. (Colossians 1:24-29)

The MYSTERY of Christ in His saints is the greatest MYSTERY in this world;

The God of Creation living inside those who belong to Him;

His power working through them to accomplish His work,

Just as His Father worked in Christ Jesus in the day He walked on earth.

Christ in each of those who belong to Him, is the only hope of Glory.

This is the Word of God in its fullness.

It is disclosed only to those who belong to Christ.

To the rest of the world, virtually the entire world,

This supernatural reality remains unknown.

I think of the time when I was dead in sin and Christ came to me

And revealed Himself to me.

At that time, the Holy Spirit lead me to read the words of Christ.

I opened a bible that I had not opened since I could remember.

I looked over the red letter words of Christ.

I came to the verse where Christ Jesus said:

'I am the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE.

No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)

At that moment the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and said to me:

“That is the TRUTH,” and I believed it.

It was if the Holy Spirit “branded” it upon my heart.

I knew it was the TRUTH; I knew it supernaturally;

It was supernaturally imparted to me by the Spirit of God.

I have walked with God from that day forward.

At that time I did not know a single Christian.

What Christ did for me is a MYSTERY that cannot be explained by anyone

Except those who know Christ.

Christ has no limitations in communicating to anyone.

I believe that He had communicated with me before

But I was unable to hear His voice at those times.

Christ knew when I was ready to receive what He spoke;

It is a MYSTERY known only to Him.

Christianity is a supernatural MYSTERY.

It is the MYSTERY of Christ Jesus wooing His Bride;

Gathering those who will say YES to Him;

Those who will be crucified to this world with Him,

And no longer live, but allow Christ to live in them;

Those who will live by faith in the Son of God,

And His power at work in them;

Those who have set their hearts on things above,

Whose lives are hidden with Christ in God,

Who have clothed themselves with the garments of Christ

And let His Word dwell richly in them.

This is the greatest MYSTERY in this world, and ENDS in Eternal LIFE.

Many are called but few are chosen. (Matthew 22:14)

I pray that all who read this have responded to their call

And are walking with Christ. All other paths end in death.

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
