1 Timothy 3:14-16

¹⁴Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these instructions so that, ¹⁵if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. ¹⁶Beyond 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.

Romans 8:11

¹¹And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

In verse 16 Paul says the content of the mystery is the person of Jesus Christ.

• How does Paul say this mystery (Jesus) was made known to us?
• What difference does the wonder of the incarnation make in your life daily?
• How does Paul say that Jesus was proved to be right? (hint: What did the Spirit do to vindicate Jesus in Romans 8:11?
• What difference does the wonder of the resurrection make in your life daily?
