OUR LORD WHO IS WISE

The Lord our God is truly wise. 

Romans 16 verse 25 - 27 says;

Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith —  to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

The message of the gospel that apostle Paul was proclaiming is the culmination of  long hidden mysteries that had worked quietly through a great span of time carried by the words of the prophets to secure the redemption that was able  to be received by us gentiles  through faith.

This astounding feat of layered planning and the marshalling of nations and peoples over so many years to weave the fabric required to make possible so great a  salvation,  was suddenly  revealed as the completed work of Jesus Christ when He died on a cross, was buried and  rose from the dead. Because of this, any person around the world could turn to the Lord Jesus in faith and be saved.

The deep wisdom of God  to accomplish this became visible after the powers of darkness were humiliated and defeated and the triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ became evident to all creation  when Jesus was resurrected and ascended to a throne of great glory in heaven.

We gentiles gratefully acknowledge the gargantuan effort it took the Lord to provide a way out of the pagan darkness in which we were lost until the coming of the wonderful gospel of Jesus.

Psalm 147 verse 5 rightly says;

Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.

As does Job 12 verse 13:

“With Him are wisdom and might; To Him belong counsel and understanding.

Bless our Lord the only wise God.

Amen.
