The Greatest Mystery Story of Them All

October 29, 2023

Do you love a good mystery? In Ephesians 3 we discover a mystery story like no other. There is a hero (Jesus), a villain (Satan), a crime (sin), a tragedy (condemnation), and a punishment and a resurrection (the Cross) ... and that's only the beginning of the story.

Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

We’re given many pictures of the church’s relationship to Jesus Christ. He is the Vine; we are the branches. He is the Bridegroom; we are the bride. He is the Shepherd; we are the sheep. There is, however, an analogy of the church and Jesus that we seldom hear. It’s the picture of Christ as the chief Cornerstone and the church as the temple of God.

Paul the apostle is known for his great intellectual and theological mind, which gave us some of the greatest writings of the New Testament, if not the whole Bible. But Paul was not some ivory tower intellectual elite; he was a man passionate about his people, so he was also a great man of prayer.

As the families ascended to Jerusalem from every direction, they would sing Psalms 120—134. Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us more about these Psalms and what they have to teach us about our own journeys with God.

(Psalm 119) One of the most critical aspects of any structure is its foundation. This principle is true not only for a structure, but also for nations, governments, organizations, families, and individuals. So what is the foundation upon which we should rest?

(Psalm 67) As Christians we are all familiar with the Great Commission as our mandate to go to all the world and make disciples. But long before Jesus Christ gave us this final command, the heart of God for missions was revealed to the people of Israel in the Psalms.

(Psalm 45) “My friend, every flower ought to remind you of Jesus. He is the lily of the valley. He is the rose of Sharon. How wonderful He is.” That's how Dr. J. Vernon McGee introduces this study of Psalm 45, which reveals the beauty and majesty of Jesus upon His second coming.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
