The Mystery of Life
(Col3:1-4)
God is the God of wisdom.
Wisdom comes from Him, and
To those who know Him He gives the hidden life (Rev2:17).
Faith is knowing Him and longing for Him, and
The life of this faith is possessing and using His wisdom.
For men desire to unveil the mystery of life
They have been advancing science and
Finally identified and mapped out all of the genes of the human genome
In order to ultimately improve and extend the human life.
All human life, however, ends in death for
God said, "for dust you are and to dust you will return (Ge3:19).
Furthermore, deceived by the serpent
Adam, the ancestor of mankind, ate the forbidden fruit (Ge2:17, 3:5-6)
Attempting to invade God's domain of wisdom.
Consequently, he was banished from the Garden which then
Became hidden by the flaming sword (Ge3:24) ” the limit to the human wisdom.
There were times when God intentionally destroyed the human culture and civilization:
With water He wiped out the entire world (Ge6:12);
He confused the language of men and interrupted them from
Building a city and a tower that reaches to the heavens (Ge11:3-9); and
The end of the world will be as such (2Pe3:7-10; Rev17-19).
Though the people of Israel were tempted to doubt
About having food to eat in the desert for 40 years (Ps78:29),
God surely fed them manna that was hidden in heaven (Ex16:4; Jn6:31-32).
To remind them this, God commanded them to build the sanctuary and
Place the golden vase with manna inside
The Testimony of the Most Holy Place, the deepest place of the sanctuary (Ex25:22; He9:4).
Jesus came and said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn2:19), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
He would reveal the mystery of life and give it to all souls for
He is the incarnate Word (Jn1:1, 14), the bread of life (Jn6:32-35), and also
The resurrection and the life (Jn11:25).
Yet as His flesh tore like the veil in the temple and died,
Jesus said, "It is finished (Mt27:51; Jn19:30; He10:20), declaring that He:
1) Submitted according to the Father's wisdom (Jn10:17-18; 1Co1:18-25);
2) With His wisdom led the devil to destroy himself (Jn10:18; He2:14); and
3) Tore His flesh and poured out the mystery of life, His blood (Jn1:4, 14; 1Pe1:18-19).
His resurrection is the perfect revelation of the mystery of life, for which
Men have searched since the creation of the world.
God had hidden it from the wise and learned but has now
Revealed this secret knowledge to little children (Mt11:25).
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of life (Ac8:2) who
Lets those who received His blood understand the deep things of God, that
The Lord of life Christ is in God and the life of the Christian is deep inside his soul (Col3:1-4).
Therefore, the man of the Spirit
Prays and lays his hand on the sick to extend the life to the flesh, and
Preaches the blood of Christ and supplies the mystery of life to souls, for
He longs for the hidden life inside of his soul to be revealed in glory
When the Lord of life appears a second time.
O Lord,
Though the world may see Your death on the cross as foolishness
It was the wisdom of God to unveil to fools and little children like us to
Know and possess the mystery of life.
How awesome, how great is Your wisdom!
Even if we have to lose our breath
We will never let go of this precious life inside our souls! Amen.
