Deuteronomy 29:29 NIV/The Five Books of Moses,Shocken
"To you the secret of the Kingdom of God has been given, but to those outside everything is said in parables, so that they may be always looking but never seeing; always listening but never understanding. Otherwise, they might turn and be forgiven."
Mark 4:11 JNT
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it.
He was in the world--the world came to be through him--yet the world did not recognize him. He came to his own homeland, yet his own people did not receive him.
The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh'khinah, the Sh'khinah of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth.
We have all received from his fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
For the Torah was given through Moshe; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
No one has ever seen God, but the only and unique Son, who is identical with God and is at the Father's side--he has made him known."
John 1:5,10-11,14,16-18; JNT
"Yet there is a wisdom that we are speaking to those who are mature enough for it. But it is not the wisdom of the world or of this world’s leaders, who are in the process of passing away. On the contrary, we are communicating a secret wisdom from God which has been hidden until now but which, before history began, God had decreed would bring us glory. Not one of this world’s leaders has understood it; because if they had, they would not have executed the Lord from whom this glory flows. But, as the Tanakh (The Hebrew Scripture) says,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard and no one’s heart has imagined all the things God has prepared for those who love him.”
It is to us, however, that God has revealed these things.
How? Through the Spirit.
For the Spirit probes all things, even the profoundest depths of God."
I Cor. 2:6-10; JNT)
Yahweh,
You have been revealing your secrets to us for a very long time.
Why?
That we might follow You.
That we might see
That we might listen and understand what we hear.
That we might turn…
And be forgiven.
May life come from death.
May your light never be suppressed in our land…in my heart.
Help me, Emmanuel.
To recognize you
To receive you
To live with you
To see your glory, your grace, your truth
To receive your glory, your grace, your truth
You have made yourself known to all.
May You be made known to me.
May I enter into all that I cannot imagine, that you have prepared.
May You be known Adonai, through me.
Here I am, send me!
