1Timothy 3:16 About Religion. 14 Jun 2025

1Ti 3:16 Without any doubt,
the mystery of our religion is very deep indeed:
He was made visible in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed to the gentiles,
believed in throughout the world,
taken up in glory.

Mysterious

Paul speaks about things which are beyond our normal understanding. Nevertheless, many do believe and hold to the values of their faith.
Once I believe those mysteries, they change my view on the present life.

Jesus Christ

Of course the 'He' mentioned in verse 16 is Jesus Christ. He came into the world. Seen by mankind and angels. He is taken up in glory. There He intercedes for me and you. Day and night He is my high priest in heaven.

Prayer

Jesus, I ask your heavenly Father for more of the holy Spirit. I ask for help to overcome my sins and stubbornness. Teach me to love and care more.
