Text: “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.” (1Corinthians 4:1)
Revealed after Christ’s first coming—The word mystery is found twenty-two times, and mysteries is found five times in the Holy Bible. Neither word is found in the Old Testament. Even though “known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world” (Acts 15:18), the mysteries of God were concealed until Jesus Christ, “the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (John 1:7) was sent from heaven.
