THE MYSTERY THAT IS GOD

TEXT
1 Corinthians 2:6-8
[6]We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
[7]No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
[8]None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

MESSAGE
We will never understand the mind of God. I love a good mystery. My favorite books and television shows are mysteries. These always have a problem that can be solved before the end of the book or the end of the show. I have heard that those of us who love mysteries are people who have a sense of law and order and like having good triumph over evil. God is a mystery in the true sense, a mystery that we will never solve. The Trinity is a mystery; Jesus' as both divine and human is a mystery. The incarnation of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit is a mystery. These are mysteries that we cannot solve or even understand. One of the ways that we know that God exists is because we cannot replicate what God has done. We cannot create from nothing. Can we manipulate what is already created? Yes, but that all we can do. We have seen the power of God in our lives as well as in nature. There is so much we don't know. Faith is based on what we can't see, or understand. We believe based on what others have told us down through the generations. We believe based on our inmost feelings that this world is not all there is. One of passages we have reviewed talks about the spark of immortality that God placed within us. That yearning for something or someone that can only be satisfied by the presence of God! Although we might get frustrated because God doesn't always do what we think he should do, we can be confident in his existence by all the times God has been there when we needed him and we can always call on him in our hours of need.

PRAYER
Good and gracious God, you love
us and are always there for us. We
will never understand the mystery
that is you just like we can never
understand the power of Love. We
believe, help us when we doubt.
Amen.
