1 Corinthians 2: 6-16 (MSG) God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit
We, of course, have plenty of wisdom to pass on to you once you get your feet on firm spiritual ground, but it’s not popular wisdom, the fashionable wisdom of high priced experts that will be out-of-date in a year or so. God’s wisdom is something mysterious that goes deep into the interior of his purposes. You don’t find it lying around on the surface. It’s not the latest message, but more like the oldest—what God determined as the way to bring out his best in us, long before we ever arrived on the scene. The experts of our day haven’t a clue about what this eternal plan is. If they had, they wouldn’t have killed the Master of the God-designed life on a cross.
As Christians we are blessed with the wisdom of the Spirit but at times how easy is it for
us to get sucked into almost worshiping celebrities , sports stars or our favourite
member of the royal family? How easy is it also to be swept along on the tide of
judgemental condemnation of people in our country and around the world?
