Yet
among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age
or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 1 Corinthians 2:6 (ESV)
You would
think in this day and age with the use of so much media to spread the Gospel
that the God’s wisdom wouldn’t be so secret any more. It is difficult to escape
the Gospel. We can see and hear it on radio, television, web sites, email,
twitter, Facebook—it’s everywhere. Yet people still don’t get it.
The wisdom
of this age says that it’s all up to us. We have to look at for number one. Do
unto others before they do unto us…and the like.
The wisdom
that comes from Christ says, “If you want to be first, you should put yourself
in last place” (Matthew 20:16). “If you want to receive, first you have to give”
(Luke 6:38). “If you are poor, then you can be truly rich.” It’s opposite world
– at least compared to the wisdom of the age.
The wisdom
and rulers of this age are “doomed to pass away.” The fads and trends of today
will be thrift store sales tomorrow. The “important” people today will be
historical footnotes tomorrow. God’s wisdom, the Bible, stands forever. Jesus
said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away”
(Matthew 24:35, NIV). God’s Word is more certain than the ground we stand on.
What are
you relying on for guidance? How do you need to seek God’s Word for guidance
today?
