God's Wisdom And Sacred Secret

The sacred secret is an astonishing display of "the greatly diversified wisdom of God." (Ephesians 3:8-10) What wisdom Jehovah displayed in formulating this secret, then in revealing it so gradually! He wisely took into consideration the limitations of humans, allowing them to manifest their true heart condition. -Psalm 103:14.

Jehovah also showed matchless wisdom in his choice of Jesus as King. Jehovah's Son is more trustworthy than any other creature in the universe. In living as a man of blood and flesh, Jesus experienced many kinds of adversity. He fully understands human problems. (Hebrews 5:7, 9) And what about Jesus' co-rulers? Over the centuries, both men and women-chosen from all races, languages and backgrounds-have been anointed. There is simply no problem that individuals among them have not faced and overcome. (Ephesians 4:22-24) Living under the rule of these merciful king-priests will be a delight!

The apostle Paul wrote: "The sacred secret that was hidden from the past system of things and from the past generations . . .has been made manifest to his holy ones." (Colossians 1:26) Yes, Jehovah's anointed holy ones have come to understand much about the sacred secret, and they have shared such knowledge with millions. What a privilege all of us have! Jehovah has "made known to us the sacred secret of his will." (Ephesians 1:9) Let us share this marvelous secret with others, helping them likewise to peer into the unfathomable wisdom of God!
