"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 13 September 2012"
Today's Bible Verse: Ephesians 3:3-5 "How that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written, by which you have read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets."
The word "mystery" in the New Testament identifies truth that was previously hidden from common knowledge, but is now revealed, discernible only by the aid of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 16:25-26; 1 Corinthians 2:7-10).
There are seven aspects of the "mystery" concerning that period known as "the times of the Gentiles." They are (1) mystery of the incarnation (1 Corinthians 2:7; Colossians 2:2,9) (2) the mystery of the gospel (Ephesians 6:19) (3) the mystery of Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:32) (4) the mystery of the indwelling of Christ (Colossians 1:27) (5) the mystery of Jews and Gentiles in one body (Ephesians 3:1-12) (6) the mystery of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 13) and (7) the mystery of the Rapture (1 Corinthians 15:51).
Because the mystery of the gospel was not revealed clearly until the church was established, Satan and his demonic servants were the unwilling servants of God. Had they understood what they were doing, they would not have crucified Christ (1 Corinthians 2:8). We as Christians however, who do understand the plan of God for this world, should be eager to do his or her part in spreading the Good News of the FREE GIFT of SALVATION that comes through the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In verse 5, the word "holy" is used in the sense of being set apart, not as an implication of moral superiority. The apostles and prophets were set apart by God to convey the Spirit's new revelation.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, physical, or financial dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
JESUS REIGNS!!! May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
