"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
I haven't been doing a lot of writing lately, but as soon as I read this passage this morning I felt compelled to share it with you.
More and more, people are abandoning the truth of God, and instead following the so called "wisdom" of the world's so called "scholars".
These "scholars" and the people that follow them, consider the message of the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, foolishness.
As believers, followers of Christ, that message is our salvation.
We believe the power of God changes us from being lost souls, to eternal beings that will live forever on a New Earth, living our lives in God's love and peace.
But this is fantasy to the "wise ones" of this present age. Instead they continue to search for the fountain of youth, when God's Son Jesus is that fountain of eternal life.
But, as is says in the second verse, God "will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent (He) will frustrate."
God created us to be people He could love, and be loved by.
We did not come into being by a "big bang", or some glob that one day split in two and evolved into men and women.
God tells us in the first pages of the Bible how it really happened.
Bottom line, "the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 1:18,19
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him”
1 Corinthians 2:9
