Romans 16:17-27
Dear RTB’ers,
Sorry for this late post, but I’ve been quite ill from yesterday afternoon, through the night and all morning today. Classic flu symptoms; I’ll spare you the details! COVID test was negative, so all will be well.
…according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations… (vv. 25b-26a) I can’t remember whether we have come across any of Paul’s writings yet this year where he mentions “the mystery”. For many years I wondered what “the mystery” was, but some years ago I learned that “the mystery” was that the Gentiles would be brought into the Jewish/Christian faith. Or maybe I’ve learned that incorrectly. Anyone out there with a clarification?
So now, after 28 days we leave Romans. I’m looking forward to going back to Exodus!
Back to bed for me…
Blessings!
Ephesians 3:6
But I think it’s well worth reading all of Ephesians to get a more complete idea of the mystery.
