The Mystery Revealed

Jul31

Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1 Corinthians 4:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.1.NASB1995

Christian, we have been given a precious gift. A gift that is to be shared, handed down from generation to generation. A mystery that when revealed opens the eyes of the blind, heals the broken-hearted, restores freedom to the afflicted, hope to the lost and so much more.

just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word (gospel),
Luke 1:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.1.2.NASB1995

Let us be faithful in sharing the gospel.

And He (Jesus) said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.

Sacrificial Surrender

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 16:24 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.16.24.NASB1995

What did Jesus do on the cross?
He gave His life (surrendered, sacrificed) for you and me.

What does it mean to take up my cross and follow Jesus?
To deny (sacrifice) myself for His purpose and glory.
To surrender my way for God’s way.
To surrender my truth for God’s truth.
To surrender my life to God so He lives through me.

In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

Believer in Jesus Christ, Son of God,

No longer will you have the sun for light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; But you will have the Lord for an everlasting light, And your God for your glory.
