it seems like we have failed, there is mercy in His presence. In other words, He will make things right for us! The grace mentioned here is His power to help us just when we need it! Read the scripture again. Are we walking in this kind of closeness? He is telling all of His people to come closer! Will we come? Supersleuths, let's invite Jesus to lead us into the reality of this bold oneness with Him that the Word says is already ours. He can lead us to the throne of grace, the presence of the Father in a way we've never known, if we will let Him uncover the way. Allow Him to reveal new thoughts to you, show you His plans for you, and speak to you as you go about your day. Be bold to ask Him questions and listen for His answers. There is so much more to uncover, but we will take our time and sleuth out every little piece of evidence there is that we are HIS! You are God's chosen people to carry His love, His power and His message. This is the adventurous life you were made for!

For a while now, we've been discovering answers to the mysteries Paul spoke of in Ephesians. I'm super stoked about what Jesus is showing us as we dig deeper into not only who Paul was and who we are, but also who Jesus is and who He is INSIDE us! This was a mystery for thousands of years. Paul wrote it out plainly in Ephesians 3, yet we are only now scratching the surface of discovering who we really are. Let's be like archaeologists working on an ancient discovery, digging very carefully, and making sure not to miss any clue or important truth. To recall what we've discovered so far, let's remember what the BIG MYSTERY is: WE ARE ONE with Jesus! (This is a huge dig site that has big meaning to us as Christians.) We are co-heirs (ones who can inherit the rank, title, position, property of another) We have Jesus' identity We have His power and authority We are meant to share His message, like He shares the Father's message. These are just a few of the truths we've uncovered. The Bible tells us we can live like Jesus and do everything He did when He was on the earth—and more! Paul's purpose and passion was to discover and share these truths with us. I feel that same passion to bring this to you! Look at Ephesians 3:9-10 in The Passion Translation. It says, "My passion is to enlighten every person to this divine mystery. It was hidden for ages past until now, and kept a secret in the heart of God, the Creator of all.The purpose of this was to unveil before every throne and rank of angelic orders in the heavenly realm God's full and diverse We are co-heirs (ones who can inherit the rank, title, position, property of another) WE ARE ONE with Jesus!

He is telling all of His people to come closer! Will we come? ® wisdom revealed through the church." Do you see why God wanted His mystery plan revealed? Because you and I, and all of God's people, are to be FULL of His wisdom, life and power! Remember, we are ONE with Him! This is supposed to be obvious to all of heaven, the angels and everyone we know: We are God's children and we are just like Him. Verses 11-12 say, "This perfectly wise plan was destined from eternal ages and ful lled completely in our Lord Jesus Christ, so that nowwe have boldness through him,and free access as kingsbefore the Father because of our complete con dence in Christ's faithfulness." For too long, Christians have not understood the full picture of who they are. They haven't realized that when they said yes to Jesus and asked Him to come into their hearts, they could be completely like Him. Verse 12 says we have the boldness to come into the presence of the Father! That is a BIG statement we need to dig further into it. Have we been doing this? What does this mean? How far into His presence can we go? What do YOU think about it? Hebrews 4:16 (Amplifi ed Bible, Classic Edition), says it like this: "Let us then fearlessly and con dently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and nd grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it]." We need His nearness every day and because He is near to us, we can be near to HIM! When we feel weak, not good enough, sad or discouraged, we can come to Him. Remember that we are small inside His BIGNESS. When Calling All Superkid Supersleuths!
