The Wisdom Which Is From God

1 Corinthians 2:9  

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, 

neither have entered into the heart of man, 

the things which God hath prepared 

for them that love him."  

   Out in the streets, and to those who have just newly come into the Church, we talk about the basic elements of Christianity; but when people are a little more mature we give them deeper teaching about what these basic facts mean. I am not saying that there is a kind of distinction between Christians; it is a difference of the stages at which they are. The tragedy so often is that people are content to remain at the elementary stage when they should be going on further to think things out for themselves. 

   "We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,"  which means something whose meaning is hidden from those who have not been enlightened, but crystal clear to those who have. Paul tells us that this special teaching is not the product of intellectual activity of men; It is the gift of God and it came into the world with Jesus Christ. All our discoveries are not so much what our minds have found out, as what God as told us. This by no means frees us from the responsibility of human effort. Only the person who works can make himself fit to receive the real riches of the mind of a great teacher. It is so with us and God. The more we strive to understand, the more God can tell us; and there is no limit to this process, because the riches of God are unsearchable. 

Amen!
