Mystery

We all love a good mystery.  Remember the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and his trusted sidekick Dr. Watson?  The originator of the stories about Sherlock and Holmes was Dr. Conan Doyle in 1887.  His stories are still popular today.  There is just something about a mystery that keeps us "coming back for more".

Maybe that is why God in his wisdom gave us the "mystery" of the gospel.   Not to keep us guessing, but to keep us searching fro Him and His plan.   Paul tells us in the New Testament that in Christ we have received the fullness of God's plan (Colossians 2:9).  On a number of occasions, Paul referred to the gospel story of Christ Jesus as a "mystery".  The gospel is a mystery because God didn't give us the whole story at the beginning of time and it is not easy to comprehend that God is not only for us and with us, but he is in us!  Christ in us is God's ultimate mysterious plan!

That truth alone is what Paul declares in his letter to the Colossians.  Christ is the capstone to God's plan in human history.  In Christ we have everything we need to live a full and wonderful life.  Join us Sunday as we explore more about Christ' Supremacy and our faith to follow.  See You @ the ARC.
