No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him.” 

I Corinthians 2:7 – 9

“For our glory.”  As Anna Ruth and I read this word from God via Paul this morning were amazed.  This amazing promise is for me, and you, and all who believe. I was impressed with the word “our.”  This is for us, me and you, now!  Scriptures are often pointing to the future.  This passage is for now, for us, those redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

Paul explains that none of the rulers of this age understood it.  It takes new eyes to see this amazing truth, that Jesus died, rose again and is now with us.  Is this not amazing!   The door is open for all man and women in any culture, educated and uneducated to be blessed by this unbelievable truth, we are all saved by the grace of God!  It has nothing to do with our status at all! Jesus came to save all who would believe.  The mystery is revealed – God has prepared the way for all men and women to receive full salvation.  All.  Forever.

No mind could have come up with this salvation, it is God’s revelation to us who believe. We receive it and are changed, top to bottom!

My soul, ponder this grace, rich and pure.
