1Corinthians 1:26
"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many
wise men after the flesh, not many mighty,
not many noble, are called:"
Remember when the sons of Jesse passed before Samuel, and the King says, "The Lord hath not chosen these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, are here all thy children?" (1Sam. 16:10-11). So does the successive regiments of people, on which the world relies pass before Christ. The wise, the mighty, the noble, the great, the things that are! The warriors with whom He will win the world to Himself are the nobodies, the ciphers, the people who the world hates. Do not depreciate yourself, but give yourself to Him; He will find a niche for you and make your life worth living.
My Friend, God has put you into union with Christ Jesus. Everything we need for life and godliness is in Him; only let us make all that we can of our wonderful position and possessions.
As Paul entered Corinth, he appears to have deliberately determined that his theme would be the crucified Lord, and expressed in the simplest phrases. When we speak the truth as it is in Jesus, the Spirit is ever at hand to enforce our testimony by His demonstration and power.
Amen!
