Romans 16:25 "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,"
We live in an incredible time. Up until Christ's coming, the salvation that was to come was truly a mystery. There was a hope, yet it was in the future, shrouded in the unknown. A Messiah would eventually come, but no one knew how or when. Nor did they fully understand how it would turn the world upside down.
Living today, however, we have the benefit of knowing what this mystery is! It has been revealed to us and now we know our standing before God, the Savior Who died to give us new life, how to receive His grace and mercy, and what eternity will hold for us. What a wonderful thought.
Yet some mystery still remains. We know our Messiah is coming back again, yet we do not know when. We hold out future hope, but we have no idea just how much that hope will transform our eternal lives when that day comes. As we wait for the final revelation, let us not get tired of doing good as God has called us. Let us run this race before us with patience, looking forward to the Reward that awaits us.
