Shun Worldly Wisdom Series
Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: In today's lesson we learn that God's wisdom is superior to the world's wisdom.
Just as we belong to Jesus, there is a sense in which Jesus belongs to God. Our blessings are absolutely secure because Christ’s position with his Father is absolutely secure.
Conclusion
There is an old Arab proverb that says:
He that knows not and knows not that he knows not;
He is a fool—shun him!
He that knows not and knows that he knows not;
He is simple—teach him!
He that knows and knows not that he knows;
He is asleep—wake him!
He that knows and knows that he knows;
He is a wise man—follow him!
There is a lot of truth in that proverb. And yet, when it comes to God, the gospel, and eternal issues, the only truth we have is found in the Word of God.
Paul has been teaching the Corinthians—and us—that that God’s wisdom is superior to the world’s wisdom.
Let us embrace the wisdom that God gives us in his Word and let us shun worldly wisdom. Amen.
