Luke 8:10 (NASB)
And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
Mysteries
Hidden secrets
Digging
Studying
Meditating
Coming as a child – imitating our Father
Learning to walk, then run and finally fly
Yet learning to rest in Him
What a journey
A kingdom full of treasures
Knocking, seeking, asking, and finding
Like Zacchaeus, climbing the tree to see Him
Selling everything in exchange for that one thing
“Martha, Martha you worry about many things but only one thing is required.” Jesus said
Indeed, only one thing is needed
Secrets that the simple understand
But which the educated fail to grasp
Eyes and ears opened
That the death of the lamb would save souls from hell
God incarnated dying on the cross would display His love for us
What a mystery
Selah
