Truth from the great mystery part 4

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Tim.3:16

Truth from the great mystery part #4 "preached unto the Gentiles"

Truly the story of Jesus will never grow old.  Yet, the hidden truth and what was not seen, was the fact that Jesus preached unto the Gentiles too. Jews and Gentiles heard the message of Jesus. For the Jews, He came unto His own and they received Him not, The Apostle John tells us this early in his book the Gospel of John, Chapter 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

The word Gentiles can mean nations too, so John said in verse 12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God

Please understand many Jews heard and received Jesus' message and so did the Gentiles too, remember it's a whosoever salvation message. I am one and YOU can be too.

But the mystery, the unseen truth is that Jesus was preached unto the Gentiles and many received Him.  Did Jesus only appeal to the Jews, Well they were given first choice and the door was opened to them for a long time, some say even until the stoning of Stephen after Jesus great resurrection, but that's another lesson for another time. Only to say the "door was open"  

Yes, the message of Jesus was preached to the Gentiles!! Especially, by the 12 Disciples, who become Apostles, one sent with a message, and they went unto ALL the known world at that time, and Praise- the- Lord for that too !!

May God bless you,
