What does it mean that Christ is a mystery?

Answered in 1 source

The mystery of Christ refers to truths about His nature and work that can only be understood through divine revelation and faith.

The term 'mystery' concerning Christ refers to profound truths that are beyond human comprehension and can only be grasped through God's revelation. This encompasses the reality that Christ is one person with two natures—fully God and fully man. As articulated in 1 Timothy 3:16, 'Great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh.' This duality is essential to understanding the Gospel and the significance of Christ's work. The mystery also includes the plan of salvation, which includes the calling of the Gentiles and the indwelling of Christ in believers, as noted in Colossians 1:27. Thus, the mystery of Christ invites believers into a deeper faith and reliance on God's word as the ultimate source of understanding.
