Confession of the Mystery

The Confession of the Mystery is a simple prayer summarizing the crux of Christian orthodoxy. Christianity is not a set of doctrines, propositions, or dogmas– it is a mystery. “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (John 1:14) In the most surprising of events God made his home amongst us in the form of Jesus of Nazareth– the Incarnation. Christianity is built on this audacious claim that God came in the flesh and made himself known.

Then in the most scandalous of events the God-made-flesh was murdered by the very people He came to save. But it was through death he made life possible for all (Romans 6:5-11), through His resurrection the people of God will be resurrected (Colossians 2:12-15), and He is coming once again to bring about a new heaven and new earth. The mystery of Christianity is that through death of one many have new life (1 Corinthians 15:50-58).

Let us confess the mystery of our faith.

Christ has died.
Christ has risen.
Christ will come again.
