20160325 : 1 Cor 1:23 & 2:2 CRUCIFIED!
A moment of reflection - a leaf out of 1 Corinthians 1& 2........
Today we remember how Jesus was hung on the cross
For many of us here who are seemingly lost
Where is the wise man, the scholar and philosopher of this age?
Yet the foolishness of God is wiser than all such sage.
Why so many run after miraculous signs, supplements & new age teachings
Yet forgetting that all on earth are merely earthly pilgrims ?
Think of what you were when you were called,
Were we wise or influential, elite or aristocrats brought?
But God chose the lowly and despised things of the world
and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are
so that no one may boast before Him, is it not?
So we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to some
but to those whom God has called
Christ is the power and wisdom of God!
May we be resolute as in Jer 9:23
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches
But let him who BOASTS BOAST about this;
that he understands and knows me
that He is the LORD, who exercises
Kindness, Justice and Righteousness on earth
For in this He delights"
We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
It is because of him that we are in Christ Jesus.
who has become for us wisdom from God-
our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
May this be the reason that It is always Him we always sought.
Amen!
