Cross Conduit
The Cross of Christ is the conduit that transmitted the life of heaven into this dying world. - FCS
The Mystery Revealed
The Apostle Paul received the revelation from God regarding His plan in the world. The Mystery was that no longer was God just blessing, saving and using the Israelites, but He makes the rest of the world, Gentiles, recipients of the promise and partakers of the new covenant in Christ.
Christ made it possible, by God's grace, for everyone who has faith in Him, to be a child of God. That means that He no longer is holding back anything from you. Whereas before we believed, we were in enmity with Him and walked according to our own sinful desires. All we were going to receive was His wrath. But God. I love that phrase. "But God". He loved us while we were still sinners. He made a way for us to be part of all of His blessings.
Paul says that these blessings are beyond what we can imagine. He says they are unsearchable riches. They are both unimaginable and unsearchable because even in eternity, we will never exhaust them. Because God is eternal and everlasting, so is what we receive from our Father, through Christ Jesus.
Another blessing is that the believer sits with Christ in heavenly places. If you are not a believer, He invites you to take a seat with Him today. Do it. Don't delay. You won't regret it.
