It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
(Proverbs 25:2, NIV)

There's a sense in which mysteries bring glory to God and solving them bring glory to us. It's no accident that so many people enjoy puzzles and riddles or exploration and experimentation, it's just another way in which we reflect the God whose image we are made in.

"You shall not pass: - Gandalf LoTR

My quote from a fantasy book is as relevant to you as your quote from a fantasy book is to us.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
