God’s Mystery Work of the Kingdom
October 3, 2021 Speaker: Mahlon Smith Series: Meeting Jesus in Mark
Passage: Mark 4:26–29
Mystery in the Bible: God’s activity in which He does not divulge the “how”, “when”, or “why” of His will. We can liken mystery to a padlock. God’s revelation of His written Word, in grace, is the only key that can unlock what is otherwise mysterious. See Daniel 12:9; Revelation 1:1; 1 Corinthians 2:7-8; 1 Cor 2:12-13
1. Principles of God’s mystery work of the Kingdom. Mark 4:26-29
