We speak of God's Wisdom

We Speak of God’s Wisdom

“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 secret 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 them, because they are spiritually discerned.”  
1 Corinthians 2:6-14
Here Paul makes an important point. The wisdom of the gospel is something quite often realized through the spirit. None Christians can’t understand it.
He points out that if the rulers that put Christ to death understood the wisdom of
God they would not have crucified Christ.
After all by man’s logic why would an almighty God allow his son to be crucified. It seems counter productive.
Paul continues by noting that man cannot conceive what God has prepared for us who love him. That this is revealed by his Spirit.
He compares it to us knowing what is inside another man. No one knows what is truly happening inside the mind and heart of someone else.
He notes that when we were saved. We received the spirit of God, “that we may understand what God has freely given us.”
  Paul make it clear that he speaks of wisdom from God when talking about spiritual truths. Noting that
“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 them, because they are spiritually discerned.”
I think this last phrase here “man without the Spirit does not accept things that come from the Spirit of God... because they are spiritually discerned.”
Quite often people who are not of the body of Christ fully accept intellectually the fact that Jesus is the Christ. But they miss much of spiritual truths the scriptures talk about because something’s are indeed spiritually discerned.
It is not until we accept Christ into our lives as Lord and Saviour that we get that spiritual revelation.
There are many things recorded in the bible and especially in the New Testament that defy man’s logic.
Things that from man’s prospective that look counter productive to the furthering of God’s kingdom.
A good example is why would God allow Christ to be crucified when he could have come in power sending angels and making Christ the conquering Messiah.
The simple answer being that Jesus not only was their as a perfect sacrifice for the sins of man. But also that coming to know God on a personal level is an act of faith.
God does not want to force man into a relationship with him. It must be an act of faith. The writer of Hebrews noting.
 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him”
Hebrews 11:6
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 
Hebrews 11:1
Think about it.
