Mystery

1 Peter 1 :10-12: Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, ¹¹ trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. ¹² It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

Recently I heard something that struck me, about the mystery of salvation, and I thought of this verse. Even as I read it again, that last sentence always amazed me. We have something so precious and so valuable, that even the angels look down at earth, and wonder and search in amazement at the mystery of salvation that has been revealed to us. How crazy is that!
