Do you ever read or watch mysteries? What's remarkable is that the author leaves clues throughout the story, but the detective is the only one who assembles the clues into a narrative to solve the puzzle. At the end, they tell everyone the solution, and then everyone looks back and can see clearly what was hidden throughout the story. It's a mystery to everyone, and then all becomes clear.
In the same way, the Gospel is a mystery revealed through the Holy Spirit for the world to grasp. It was obscure to many, but God used people like Paul to spread the Good News that the Gospel is for all. The Gentiles are made fellow heirs through the work of Christ on the cross.
We have the fortune of standing and looking back and seeing more of the story. May we take advantage of the opportunity to view more of the story, trusting in the same God who will lead us forward into the greater mystery.
Prayer for today: God of mystery, thank you for using Scripture to open our eyes to the wonders of your love. Help us see the world through your eyes and to love the same way that you love.
