Lesson 4772

 (Lesson 4772) (02-27-25) 1st Corinthians 2:6-10 

   “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 

 

    In today’s quote, Paul explained that he preached wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or its rulers, who are passing away. Instead, he spoke of God’s hidden wisdom, a mystery that He ordained before time for believers' glory. He stated that none of the rulers of that age understood that wisdom, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord Jesus. Paul then quoted Scripture, saying that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined the things God has prepared for those who love Him. However, God revealed these things to believers through His Spirit, who searches and knows the deep things of both God and man. ~
