Inability to accept mystery causes us to project its meaning. Mysteries about God cause us to blame Him for things for which He is not responsible; it also makes us miss some glorious things about Him. Mystery does not lend itself to easy answers, simplistic theology, and ignorant speculation. It is a delicate flower; do not tamper with its aroma. It is poetry, do not make it a dissertation. Bask in it; do not try to explain it. It is a deeper knowing. The Spirit of God is the gate to the mysteries of God.
“But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths.” 1 Corinthians 2:10-13 (NLT).
