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, Romans 16:25
The mystery of the coming of the Messiah has been a mystery since the beginning of the world. Think about that, when Christ was creating the world he already was planning on saving the world. God had a redemption plan before you were even born, Satan was already defeated before he even began!
Make notice that even though God had his redemption plan since the beginning, Satan had no clue about this mystery. Throughout history Satan tried to kill the Messiah. He tried to kill Joseph, Moses, David, Elijah, ect. Satan had no clue who God would make the Messiah, and he failed miserably at trying to kill off the sacred line that would produce the Messiah
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: Romans 16:26
Throughout the scriptures God fortold about the coming of the Messiah. There are over 300 prophecies that were fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Even though Satan had this knowledge he still couldn’t solve the mystery of the Messiah.
Messiah came as nobody would have ever predicted. He was born in a stable, to some poor young couple. He didn’t arrive in a palace from a royal family. He had no worldly wealth or worldly status, however Jesus is God in the flesh who came to save the world
It wasn’t until Jesus willingly laid down his life as the Lamb of God until it was Finished!
Amen. The world’s greatest mystery: why would a King and God come down to this earth to be poor, rejected, despised, mocked, tortured, and killed – for us. Wow! Just wow.
