Scripture

Without question this is the Great Mystery of the faith:

Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit

He was seen by angels and announced to the nations

He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory

Reflection

What is the mystery of faith? What is the hidden thing that is now revealed? It is Christ in the flesh

Beloved, it was for your sake that I became a human being. I put aside, for a time, the splendour and majesty of the throne of Heaven. I came and dwelt among you and I died for the remission of sins.

Every being in heaven has seen this and you have too. I revealed this mystery to you so that you could be a part of my kingdom, my family.

Many have seen the truth, but they rejected it. It is to their shame and eternal sorrow that they walk away from my redemption.

Other see it and accept it, but they fail to grow. They focus on an easy salvation. They will fall over the line into heaven, but they will not claim all the blessings I have for them

Others will receive the fullness of my Kingdom in this life as well as in eternity.

Prayer

Father, please help me to know everything there is to be known about the mystery of faith. Let me walk in the fullness of your mercy today and always. Amen
