Mystery of Christ???? Here is some thoughts on Mystery in relation to the Bible. perhaps your answer lies here. MYSTERY (Gk. muste4rion). The NT use of the term “mystery” has reference to some operation or plan of God hitherto unrevealed. It does not carry the idea of a secret to be withheld, but of one to be published (1 Cor. 4:1; “secret things,” NIV). Paul uses the word twenty-one times. The term mystery, moreover, comprehends not only a previously hidden truth, presently divulged, but one that contains a supernatural element that still remains in spite of the revelation. The more important biblical mysteries are the following: 1. The mysteries of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 13:3-50). 2. The mystery of the translation of the living saints at the end of the church age (1 Cor. 15:51-52; 1 Thes. 4:14, 17). 3. The mystery of the church as the Body of Christ, composed of saved Jews and Gentiles of this age (Ephes. 3:1-11; Ephes. 6:19; Col. 4:3). 4. The mystery of the church as the bride of Christ (Ephes. 5:28-32). 5. The mystery of “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Galatians 2:20; Col. 1:26-27). 6. “God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself” (Col. 2:2, 9; 1 Cor. 2:7). This involves Christ as the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form. 7. The mystery of lawlessness (2 Thes. 2:7; Matthew 13:33). 8. The mystery of the operation by which man is restored to godliness (1 Tim. 3:16). 9. The mystery of Israel’s blindness during the gospel age (Romans 11:25). 10. The mystery of the seven stars (Rev. 1:20). 11. The mystery of Babylon, the harlot (Rev. 17:5, 7). BIBLIOGRAPHY: N. Turner, Christian Words (1980), pp. 281-87.

3 | In what way is Christ God's mystery? | Col 2:2 | leonore | 114852 | ||
You've given me a lot of reading to do. thank you very much! I do think that this will help me. It already helped to read where you told me that it doesn't necessarily mean it's a secret that is being withheld but of one to be published. I think I also understand that this means that although we understand some of the mystery at this time, there is even more to be revealed. Is that right? | ||||||

I think there is much we have yet to understand or even imagine. Eternity is going to be anything but boring. EdB |
