MYSTERY REVEALED

DANIEL 2:22 (CEB)
God is the one who uncovers what lies deeply hidden;
he knows what hides in darkness;
light lives with him!


JOHN 17:25 (MSG)
Righteous Father, the world has never known you,
but I have known you, and these disciples know
that you sent me on this mission.

THE ESSENCE
God remains a total mystery until we encounter Christ Jesus, who has come to shed divine light on us.

DAILY FODDER
What do we mean when we say that Christ reveals the mytery of God? What kind of mysteries are we talking about?

PRAYER 
Eternal God, your wisdom reveals mysteries in darkness. Forgive my moments of doubt when fear overshadows faith like clouds obscurring the stars. Help me to abide in your truth like a sturdy tree rooted by living waters. Let my life testify to your glory, shining light in the shadows. Amen. (Daily TextsGround Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
     we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
     so that everything that happens here will align
     with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
     and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. 
Amen.
