Mystery of Christ

“Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith—to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.” (Romans 16:25-27 NKJV)

Is there anything too big or hard for God? Our God is able to establish us according the gospel of Christ Jesus given to Apostles and Prophets and all who believes in Him. A long awaited Christ since Adam’s fall has come to fulfill the prophecies of the mystery kept secret for generations and ages. That mystery of God has now made known, that is, Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Christ was born in the likeness of man, circumcised, baptized, and tempted in the wilderness to fulfill the scriptures. Christ preached the good news of the kingdom of heaven, healed the sick, drove out demons, and was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead according to the scriptures. Christ died for our transgressions and sins in order to give anyone who believes in Him eternal life. Christ the Son of Man was slaughtered by the hands of His own people according to the promise of God. God was pleased to let His begotten Son die in blood on the Calvary’s cross. Jesus the Son of God obeyed the Father to the point of death, enduring all the shame, despair, guilt, curse, condemnation, separation, abandonment in our place.

He bore our inequities and transgressions and paid the full price to purchase and liberate those who believe and made His spoils and merchants. Foremost of all, He was buried and rose again from the dead according the promise of God.

The mystery of Christ is that when He died we died with Him, when He buried we buried, and when He rose we rose. The mystery of Christ stands forever, pouring out eternal life to anyone who comes and drinks by faith.

The deliverance of God out of the darkness and bondage has been made by Christ Jesus, so God does not see those who are in Him as enemies but beloved sons of light.  

Whenever we in Christ Jesus missteps and sins again, we come and confess our sins humbly and honestly and right there the eternal defender touches our hearts to be healed and cured over and over again. The avalanche of grace covers those who come and ask wherever and whenever.

The cross of Jesus Christ is the only way to be established and rooted in Him firmly and eternally, God willing.
