It Has Been Given To You To Know
The Mysteries Of The Kingdom.
Matthew 13:11
The Bible Word "MYSTERY" Is Almost A Mystery
In Its Own Right, Because Its Meaning Has Reversed.
When Jesus Used It, It Meant
"A Former Secret Now Openly Told."
Today, It Refers To Something Difficult To Grasp,
Understand Or Figure Out.
It's Impossible For Us To Understand
This Because Jesus Is Clearly Want
To Make His Purpose Clear To Us.
There's Nothing Mysterious About What He's
Wanting To Say, To Do Or To Bring About. . .
That Is, IF.
The One Qualification To Understanding God's
Way For You Today Or His Will For
Your Whole Life Is To Listen.
The Parable Of The Seed And The Soil.
Matt. 13:2,9-12
Precedes His Promise To Unfold "Kingdom Mysteries"
To Us.
Its Message Is Unmistakable:
You Must Have 'Ears To Hear.'
Only Then Do We Gain Insight,
Understanding And Growth In Fruitfulness.
In This Light, Let Us Begin Every Day,
Praying Words Such As Those So Beautifully Sung
In This Worship Chorus:
Open Our Ears, Lord, And Help Us To Listen,
Open Our Eyes, Lord, We Want To See Jesus."
