Everyone likes a mystery. Do you?

Here’s one:

 

Ephesians 5:31-32 (ESV)
³¹ “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
³² This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

 

If you have ever been in church then I’m sure you’ve heard the terms “body of Christ”, “bride of Christ”, etc. Suppose this “churchy” talk is really code for something profound. What would that be?

Maybe this:

 

Ephesians 4:4-6 (ESV)
⁴ There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—
⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
⁶ one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

 

Perhaps we (all God’s children) and Jesus are all ontologically related - which is a fancy way of saying we are all of the same stuff - two sides of the same coin. Basically this:

 

Hebrews 2:11 (ESV)
¹¹ For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source (are all of one). That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

 

So, brother or sister, maybe there is more to you than you think?

It’s possible isn’t it?
