**To the Beloved in Christ, Grace and Peace,**

In my previous words to you, as recorded in 1 Corinthians 2:7 (KJV):, I spoke of a profound truth, saying, "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory." Let me now, in the manner of a humble servant of Christ, expound further on this divine mystery.

The wisdom of which we speak is not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who are coming to nothing. It is a wisdom that transcends human understanding, a wisdom shrouded in mystery from times past. This hidden wisdom is the very plan of God, predestined before the creation of the world, but revealed to us through the Spirit.

This divine mystery, dear brethren, is centered on our Lord Jesus Christ. In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. It is a plan not known to the princes of this world, for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. The crucifixion, seen by many as defeat, was indeed the ultimate fulfillment of this divine wisdom, a necessary step in God's grand design for our redemption.

The glory that this wisdom brings forth is not of temporal riches or earthly power. It is a glory that speaks of our salvation, our redemption in Christ Jesus, and our inheritance in the heavenly realms. This mystery, once concealed, is now revealed to us, His saints, to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

In understanding this mystery, we stand in awe of God’s eternal plan. We, who were once estranged from Him by sin, are now drawn near by the blood of Christ. Through Him, we have received the Spirit of God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God – the very depths of His love, mercy, and grace.

Therefore, let us hold fast to this wisdom, not with the words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ, and it is through Him that we discern the depths of God's wisdom.

I urge you, therefore, to remain steadfast in this revealed mystery. Let it be the rock upon which your faith stands, and the light that guides your path in this present age. For in it lies our hope, our joy, and our eternal crown.

In the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Paul, a Servant of Christ Jesus
