The Mystery of Christ

Lord, you have not given to us the "science of Jesus" to broadcast. Instead, you have called us to proclaim the mystery of Christ. What arrogance it would be to think we knew all there was to know about, you, Incarnate Word, Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Brother, Friend. You are to deep to fathom. You depth is to rich with life and newness.

Never let us think we have figured you out Jesus. Instead, wrap us in mystery. Romance us into the quest of seeking you, knowing you, following you. It is our souls longing for you which produces all motion within us. Satisfaction leads to stagnation and death. Chasing after you is the one pursuit deep and long enough to make us truly alive.
