Before I know Christ, I thought the Christians are stupid. I thought they are low people who need something to lean upon. But the more I come to know Christ, the more I realize the foolishness of God is true wisdom. The more I know Christ, the more I know myself.
I always thought I was clever, I was a good people, I was the center of the whole universe. All other people should do things which are good to me, otherwise, I will feel uncomfortable. I thought I was the God for myself. But God just use these two years, the most wonderful and colorful years to let me know that I am weak, I am stupid, I am too proud, I am a sinner. I always thank God for all He has done to me, I can clearly notice the guidance that God shows to me. Now my focus and my meaning of life are totally changed. I do not focus on my own self, I do not feel proud about myself, I do not sin much, I want to be like Christ at the end. I know sometimes, my old self still work in me and lead me astray from God. But I am free from sin, I am not bound to sin anymore, because Christ's blood has purge it totally! Thank you Lord!
What is the wisdom of God? God gives us freedom to choose to love Him! His wisdom is in the cross that is He killed His own son to save the people that He loves so much. In the eyes of God, all wisdom is meaningless compared to His infinite wisdom, all strength is weak. How could a man be proud of himself when he lives in such a beautiful world created by the Lord! God did not pick the one who is strong in the eyes of human being, but pick the weak one, the fool one to fool the wisdom of the world. That proves His wisdom is much more than this world's wisdom!
Praise be all to the Lord! For all He has done to us! For His ever-lasting love!
Corinthians 2:6-16
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God's secrete wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"
but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand then, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any many's judgment:
"For who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct him?"
But we have the mind of Christ.
