God is a mystery. Jesus is a mystery. Mystery meaning unsolveable. Incomprehensible. Beyond my ability to understand. And I can take this mystery one of two ways-

I can either be confused and question God in frustration and anger and begin to doubt because it doesn’t make sense,

or I can be in awe and wonder about God in amazement and thankfulness and begin to deepen my trust in him because his goodness is beyond my comprehension.

I can either view the mystery as a terrible curse in my logical desire to have all the answers,

or I can view the mystery as a beautiful blessing in my childlike faith.

I can either believe that God is holding out on me- that there’s a catch and that beyond what I understand of God there is evil,

or that God is not holding out at all, and there is simply no end to the goodness he possesses.
