God’s wisdom is so far above human understanding that many consider it foolishness. For centuries, humanity has tried to make sense of this world with philosophies and theories because it could not grasp the Truth of God.
Only God’s wisdom
will lead us on the right path. “For the message of the cross is foolishness to
those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God”
(1 Corinthians 1:18).
From
our limited human perspective, it seems impossible that God would become man,
die on a Cross, rise three days later, and then ascend into heaven.
It seems
even more impossible that our salvation—our only chance to spend eternity in
heaven—is rooted in our belief and following of Jesus Christ who died on that
Cross for our sins.
Humanly speaking, how could the death of one man so long
ago determine the destiny of every human being ever created? God’s act of
redemption makes no sense to the natural mind. Human wisdom cannot comprehend
the Cross.
Human
wisdom may show us the problems of life, but it fails to give us the solutions.
The root of all of our problems is sin, which humanity refuses to acknowledge.
The unrepentant heart justifies and explains away sinful behavior.
Human
wisdom asks: Who needs the Cross when we are good people? However, human
intellect cannot save us from an eternity in hell. “There is a way that seems
right to a man, but in the end it leads to death” (Proverbs 16:25).
People
consider the Cross foolishness because admitting their sinfulness and the need
for Christ’s redemption means they must surrender to God. They must give up
their own wisdom and glory for God’s. And most people are unwilling to admit
God’s ways are better than theirs.
1
Corinthians 1:21
21 Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him
through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who
believe.
