ACCEPTING THE MYSTERIES
Deuteronomy 29:28
The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Personal Challenge
One of the most comforting phrases that I heard when I converted from Protestantism to Eastern Orthodoxy is, “It’s a mystery. “. As a people who have of grown up in the Age of Reason, we have embedded in us the mindset that everything has an explanation. As followers of Christ, we can comfortably accept that God knows things the we do not and that is okay. God will always know more than we do. He is God and we are not. So when it comes to how does the trinity, one God and three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, work? It’s a mystery. How does the eucharist become, actually become, the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ: It’s a mystery. When will be the end of times with Jesus returning? It’s a mystery. We believe all of this, and much more, trusting that God knows and that that is enough. Glory be to God!
