Consequence. 1.
First, Hence it followeth, that the Reconciliation of the Children of men with God, is a very great and deep mystery, it is not a thing that can ordinarily be understood, it is not a thing that is wrought in a natural way. But to reconcile any soul unto God, is done in a way that is most deep, and hidden, and is (of it self) a most glorious Mystery. And therefore when the Scripture speaks of our Reconciliation with God in Jesus Christ; it tells us, that it is the hidden Wisdom of God, 1 Cor. 2.7. We speak the Wisdom of God in a Mystery; even the hidden Wisdom which God ordained before the World to our glory. It speaks of the very same thing, that my Text speaks of; viz. That God was Reconciling the world to himself in Jesus Christ, and this he saith was the Wisdom of God in a Mystery the hidden Wisdom which God ordained before the world to our glory. And then again, verse. 10. God hath revealed them to us by his Spirit; the particle [them] is not in the Greek, but only thus. God hath revealed to us by his Spirit; that is, This Mystery, for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. That is the first thing that followeth. It is a Mystery.
