No eye has seen…what God has prepared for those who love Him – but God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. (1 Corinthians 2:9–10, NIV 1984).
My Musings – “It’s not what you look at that matters it’s what you see.” (Henry David Thoreau). Some people look into the Word of God and see profound truth. Others see only resounding foolishness. And, of course, if it is true, it matters more than one could possibly imagine.
“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 [see] 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 2:13–14, NIV 1984).
My Advice – Open your eyes to the possibility of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Christ. You just might just see what you are looking at. It may, at first, be seen as foolishness. But the more intently you look, you might just see its wisdom.
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to [those] who are being saved it is the power of God…a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom.” (1 Corinthians 1:18, 23-25, NIV 1984).
Why might it matter? Because it claims to be the difference between perishing and being saved. For that reason, it’s worth another look. What you see could change not only this life but the next, if you believe what you see.
