The Mystery
We are born, we struggle, and then we die.  I heard one person say, "Life sucks and then we die."  Hopefully, we experience some happiness along the way.  Is this all there is?  Maybe if we are good enough we can go to a nice place or maybe we can live again with more comfort....but what if there is a hell....how bad could it be....how can I avoid that place?  Is there a creator God who has a plan for those who die?
What is this mystery?  The prophets foretold of a messiah savior to come but were clueless as to how God would manifest this Christ on Earth.  Scripture teaches, "the true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:2b-4.
