The Mystery of the Kingdom Mark 4:10-11; Matthew 13
And when he was alone, those around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. And he said to them, To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, Mark 4:10 11 ESV
What is a mystery? The Biblical idea of mystery is something which has been kept secret through times eternal and is now disclosed. (The Gospel of the Kingdom; George Eldon Ladd; p.52) A divine purpose, hidden by God, but finally disclosed in new revelation of redemptive work.
Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages Romans 16:25 26 ESV
but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith Romans 16:26 ESV
The mystery of the Kingdom of God as been revealed and made known, by Jesus and His disciples, to advance the believer s obedience to our faith in Jesus.
He answered them, The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those outside, everything comes in parables so that they may look and look, yet not perceive; they may listen and listen, yet not understand; otherwise, they might turn back and be forgiven. Mark 4:11 12 HCSB
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, Daniel 2:44 ESV
just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure. Daniel 2:45 ESV
His winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn. But the chaff He will burn up with fire that never goes out. Matthew 3:12 HCSB
Are You the One who is to come, or should we expect someone else? (Mt. 11:3).
The Kingdom of God is here with persuasion, rather than with all-power.
What do we understand Jesus to mean when He says to us to pick up your cross and follow me ?
Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will find it. Matthew 16:24 25 HCSB
He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11 HCSB
Jesus told him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. -John 14:6
For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God s gift not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are His creation, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8 10 HCSB
The Kingdom of God is made a reality in our world when we exercise the Faith. Are you exercising the call to Faith in Christ?
