OUR GOD IS A MYSTERY

 

GOD IS UNSEEN-

GOD IS UNHEARD-

OUR GOD IS A MYSTERY

I have never seen God

I have never even heard God

And I am SURE-

Neither have you

For our God is a MYSTERY

“Jesus said:........'The Father

Who sent me

Has TESTIFIED on my behalf

But you have

Never heard his voice

Nor seen his form........”                                                                 John 5:37

The Gospel of John

Is so different

Than the other 3 gospels

It has

Its own UNIQUE perspective

Today-it tells us

That Jesus was sent 

By his Father

And that the “you”

REFERS to us

His 21st century apostles

As well as the people

Of his time

We don't have Jesus

Any more figured out

Than the people of his day did

He is still

A MYSTERY TO US

“No-we declare GOD'S WISDOM

A MYSTERY that has been hidden

And that God destined

For our glory-

Before time began”                                                                        1 Corinthians 2:7

“But in the days

WHEN the 7th angel

Is about to sound

His trumpet-

The MYSTERY OF GOD

Will be accomplished

Just as he announced

To his servants the prophets”                                                                 Revelations 10:7

Our God is unseen

Our God is unheard

Except for his TEACHINGS

His teachings on LOVE

His teachings on forgiveness-

And his teachings on kindness

As well as the healings and miracles

He performed

Our God 

Is a good God

A God of PERFECT LOVE

As manifested in the life-death-

And RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ

He is a humble God

A God of perfect humility

MAYBE we should try

To CULTIVATE his humility

Into our own lives

“When pride comes-

Then comes disgrace

But with humility

Comes wisdom”                                                            Proverbs 11:2

“Wisdom's instruction-

Is to fear the Lord

And HUMILITY

Comes before honor”                                                      Proverbs 15:33

“I served the Lord

With great humility and tears

….....” (Saint Paul)                                                           Acts 20:19

Isn't that something

We should ALL ASPIRE to do?

So

Our God is unseen-

Our God is unheard-

And our God is a mystery

Dear Lord-PLEASE HELP US

To ALWAYS KNOW

That we haven't got it

All figured out

And to live our lives

In LOVE-FORGIVENESS-and KINDNESS

Without always

Needing to understand

For you dear Lord

Are a perfect mystery-

AND PERFECT LOVE
