MYSTERY

G.K.Chesterton once said: “God has put a tremendous mystery in nature and that, is the sun. In the light of that one thing, which we cannot see because of its brightness, everything else is made clear.

Likewise though we cannot comprehend the nature of God completely in this life, nevertheless, in the light of the truths which He revealed, everything else is made clear, such as the mystery of pain, suffering, death, life and birth.”

There are, therefore two kinds of wisdom: wisdom of the flesh and the wisdom which God gives. One is very often opposed to the other The first would say this is the only life there is; therefore we should get all we can of it. The other sees that this life is a kind of scaffolding up through which we climb to eternal happiness; it will therefore, be so used as a ladder to the Mansions of the Heavenly Father.

But this Divine Wisdom comes only to those who have qualifications for receiving it, and, one of the conditions is good behavior. As Our Blessed Lord said; “If anyone will do my will, he will know my doctrine.”

Fulton J. Sheen
