Stewards of the Mysteries of God #1
These past 4 weeks as a church were really sweet as we looked into the ministry and mysteries of the Holy Spirit. If you missed it or if you aren’t part of our church family, you can find the series here:
The Holy Spirit Summer Series
We last looked at Colossians 1:26 and leaned into a few aspects of the mystery of Christ residing in us, which we understood as a reference to the Holy Spirit. This mystery is profound. This mystery is abounding with glorious wealth. This mystery reveals that God is for all people, Jew and Gentile. It’s been referrenced and alluded to in previous ages and generations. A mystery that reveals the plan of redemption, justification, and sanctification. A mystery that reveals that the presence of God will dwell in the lives of those who placed their faith in Jesus the Christ.
the presence of God…
Think about that! The very presence of God that shook Mt. Sinai. The very presence that Moses longed to see. The presence that made God’s people then and now distinct. The ALL HOLY GOD dwells within us. Our hearts have become the holy of holies where now by the grace of God, we can boldly approach the throne in our time of need.
the very presence of God now living within all who believe…
How thankful I am that the Holy Spirit, the very presence of God lives within me?!? To know that He prays and intercedes for me because I do not always know what I should pray for (Romans 8:26-27). To have the ability to daily be filled by the Spirit, to be able to be led by the Spirit, to be able to pray in the Spirit, all in order to build myself and others up in our most holy faith (Jude 20-21). It’s Him, the Holy Spirit, who roots me and you in the love of Christ and always points us to Jesus. This really is a mystery! A beauitful mystery! A glorious mystery! This is only a glimpse of all the Holy Spirit does for us.
Yet there is more! There is another mystery that the church today needs to embrace, live in, and live out. Take a moment and read Ephesians 5:22-33 and look for it. Don’t keep reading50 20 20 20 20 Recent
