Could it possibly be the differentiation of the Gospel of the Kingdom (for the Jew) as opposed to the Gospel of Grace (for everyone, including the Jew)?

i had a discussion recently on this...
i interpret the mystery as the fact that Jesus is IN us... He is always with us. we don't have to make sacrifices, or call for help, or feel alone...because He is with us always... :) God sent Jesus to be that bridge between human and divine. there is no need to go through religious "motions" in order to get closer to God.. it is RIGHT here on earth, to rejoice that Jesus is within us~
we don't have to agree, it's just one viewpoint out of thousands...... :) ~~

Before the world began, God hid within Himself a mystery. This mystery contained His purpose for Christ and the part of humanity that would accept Christ, the Church. He would bring about all which He purposed in Himself, after the counsel of His own will, and according to His own good pleasure. This purpose would be extended to the Church by grace alone in a way that was consistent with His purpose. God would establish salvation for all men who would be brought into one body through Christ. This body of people would then share God's Good News while waiting for Christ to return to establish a visible Kingdom on earth, not try to establish it without His visible presence. He alone would bring it about in God's time, by Himself, at the time of His fiery return when all things will become visibly in subjection to Him.
