"God works in mysterious ways."
How often have you heard or said that? I know I have said it a whole bunch of times. Paul writes in verses 2-3 that God's mystery is Christ himself and "in him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
When big things happen in people's lives, mostly bad things like the loss of a job or the loss of a loved one, people try so hard to figure out God's plan or the reasons behind these things. Paul's greatest gift is his ability to simplify this complicated faith. He reminds us that Christ is the mystery that we should be trying to figure out. Not that Jesus is simple, but to the contrary, Jesus, grace and salvation is more than we can figure out in a lifetime. There is no reason to try and figure out God's plan and God's intentions our homework is hard enough already.
