The word “mystery” appears twenty eight times in the New Testament, but is not found in the Old Testament. The Greek word “musterion,” translated “mystery” did not mean something that is obscure or incomprehensible; rather it meant a truth given and revealed only to a select few that was unknown until it was revealed. Only those initiated into the group learned the secrets and after initiation the mystery was revealed.
With that definition in mind, the biggest mystery for me is Christ’s love that set me free from the penalty of sin!
