09/15/2025 – Sublime!: “Messiah is your ‘adelphos’ – the joining of two unfathomable mysteries! / Mark 3:35 // Confessional Prayer

The Two Mysteries of The Adelphos

Monday, September 15, 2025

In the book of Mark, chapter 3, Messiah called us His “brother.” But the actual word used in the Greek for brother is “Adelphos,” which comes from the Greek root word “Delphos,” or “womb.” Why? A brother is someone who is born of the same womb as you. So if Messiah is our brother, what does it mean? There are two mysteries here. The first mystery is about Messiah’s incarnation. He was born into this world in flesh and blood from the same place all people come from – their mother’s womb. The second mystery is that we now have the chance to be born of heaven’s womb as Messiah also was – to be born of the Spirit in the second birth. In fact, the two mysteries are joined. Messiah was born of an earthly womb that we might be born of heaven. Or, in other words, Messiah is your adelphos, in that He so intimately joined every part of His life to your life, that you, now, would make it your aim to so intimately join every part of your life to Him – your adelphos.

From Message #1355 – Adelphos 
Scripture: Mark 3:35

Confessional Prayer:
“Lord God, your love for humankind,
present in the beginning of all things,
extends throughout history
and touches even my life.
Your love sees failings
and forgives.
Your love feels pain
and wipes away our tears.
Your love knows grief,
and comforts the sorrowful.
Your love sees sin
and still loves the sinner.
Forgive us when we fail to live
lives that reflect your love.
Forgive us the many times
when we take for granted
all that you have done for us.
Transform us, through your Spirit,
and empower us to serve you
this day and all days
Amen”
