"Although I am less than the least of all God’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence."~ Ephesians 3:8-11
This mystery which Paul speaks about...
Today, 8/12/12, amongst the blessings of the speakers, the excitement of the Holy Ghost, the transformation that has taken place, the quickening that comes through the Spirit, the entirety of the aura of Christ, we sat and listened to God's Shepard speak of that mystery. The angels, are waiting to understand why God would/could/desires to love a people that cannot do anything on their own. Can love a people that rebel, disobey, cause a stench of filth in His nostrils. How/Why God could go as far as death, to reconcile with Human beings.
It was at creation that the angels applauded in excitement as God, Elohim, created everything that is. We were initially created to be a little less than the angels, but after the reconciliation, we were placed into a covenant, that placed us higher than the angels. How could God love us so much that He would lift us to such a position. Equality with the angels would even be too much... but O what unmerited love the father has bestowed upon His children! Wow.... I will leave this meditation for magnification! Thank you Lord!
