1 Timothy 1-5: Beyond All Question

Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great:
   He appeared in a body,
   was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
   was preached among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
   was taken up in glory
. - 1 Timothy 3:16 NIV

The mystery of godliness is great.  It is beyond all question.  There is no way our human minds can fully comprehend it.  The Messiah that Israel looked and longed for, for so many years, came into the world., not as they imagined, but as a baby.  He was not born in the palace of kings as one would expect of one of the line of David, but born in a stable.  And, while his birth was of little note, it was his dying that gave us life.  We cannot question why God would choose to redeem the world in this manner, we can only accept that all these events happened, accept that this is the greatest mystery of all, and accept that it is a gift, a gift beyond all question.
