Christianity Mysterious
By John Nelson Darby0COL 1:261TI 3:16John Nelson Darby emphasizes the inherent mysteries of Christianity, arguing that the truths revealed in Scripture, such as the Incarnation and the dual nature of Christ, are beyond human comprehension and require divine revelation to understand. He asserts that to deny the mysterious aspects of faith is to undermine its depth and significance, as these mysteries reveal profound truths about God, sin, and redemption. Darby highlights that true understanding comes from being taught by God, and that the complexities of faith should not be simplified to fit human reasoning. He warns against a superficial interpretation of Christianity that neglects its rich, mysterious nature, which is essential for grasping the fullness of God's revelation.
(1.) Gal_1:15-16 : "When It Pleased God,
By F.B. Meyer0GAL 1:15F.B. Meyer emphasizes the profound truth that it pleased God to reveal His Son in us, likening this revelation to unveiling a hidden statue. He explains that while Christ is present in the regenerate believer, He often remains veiled until the Holy Spirit removes the misconceptions that obscure Him. Meyer illustrates this with the story of a woman who, after years of separation, recognizes her son disguised as a stranger, symbolizing the moment of revelation when we truly see Christ in our lives. The sermon encourages believers to seek the unveiling of Christ within them, recognizing Him as the source of their life and hope. Ultimately, Meyer calls for a deeper appreciation of the mystery of Christ in us, which brings glory and transformation.
