Mystery

The message taught during the ministries of John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles of Jesus, was a "Kingdom Message". The apostles that walked with Jesus were highly qualified to preach this message for they heard Jesus for three years as He preached this message. The Kingdom Message was similar, (not that much different) to that of John the Baptist. These apostles did not know of the "Mystery message" that later came from Jesus to Paul.

Saul was called "by Jesus" to be Apostle Paul, to preach the "mystery, secret wisdom of God" that had been hidden from the beginning. The message of the mystery was a different message than the Kingdom message in that one was to place believers into the Kingdom and the Mystery was Christ coming into the believer. Paul’s mystery message was how God would come into man at the Time of conversion to live forever.

(Col 1:27) The mystery message is "Christ in you, the hope of Glory."

EPH 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

1CO 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,

which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

1CO 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they

would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1CO 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of

the mysteries of God.

EPH 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which

from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by

Jesus Christ:

COL 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this

mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
