Confusing The Wise

The message and miracle of God's grace in Jesus Christ utterly confounds the high and mighty people of this world. They don't understand how God changes sinners into saints. They are helpless in duplicating this miracle.

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty:

The spiritual blessings we need are not beyond our grasp: they are in a Person, Jesus Christ. He is our wisdom, our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption.

Therefore, why glory in men? We should glory in The Lord and not in ourselves or our spiritual leaders.

I'm reminded of a story from many years past about a successful back-woods preacher who couldn't read. His wife read scripture as he called out book, chapter, and verse. He couldn't read but knew where God's Word resided. Isn't that amazing.
