Nobody really understands the importance of mysteries. I mean the great the mysteries of life; not just those little mysteries that our feeble minds can't understand right away. Think, if we understood all mysteries, then we would be so confident in our own understanding that we wouldn't think we even needed God. A continual strive in our lives, even non-christians, is to understand these mysteries that life holds, without them, life would be meaningless. The whole purpose of these mysteries is to show how lacking in knowledge we as humans really are so that God can receive the glory. All of the mysteries in life point to God. Jon Foreman phrased it well when he wrote, "I've been standing on the edge of me, just standing on the edge of me; on fire, burning up in these mysteries."
