I've Got a Secret

I’ve got a secret!  Remember how much fun that was to say?  As children, the pledge to keep a secret was a serious responsibility.  Having insider info on something or someone, and swearing not to reveal any details, to anyone, ever, even if we were taunted, plied with candy or threatened with bodily harm.  Our lips were zipper-sealed!!  Were you aware that God‘s plan of salvation, for all people,  was considered a “secret plan“ ?  For centuries before Christ, God gave clues through the prophets, but the whole thing was shrouded in mystery. Now that the plan has been accomplished, and it‘s no longer hidden from our understanding, we should be sharing this good news/gospel with everyone.  Funny thing, unlike the secrets from our youth, that everyone wanted to know about, nowadays lots of folks could care less about His priceless revelation.  Sadly, many believers, rather than rejoicing, must think it’s still something to keep hush-hush, telling even seekers that their faith is a private matter. Dear friends, if you don‘t feel competent in explaining the secret, learn how!  God is counting on us to get the word out. “This message about Jesus Christ has revealed his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time.” Romans 16:25
