Wise Fools

1 Corinthians 1:18

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.

It is frustrating to witness to someone who clearly thinks Christianity is a joke. Having to deal with the ridicule and demeaning comments can be unbearable at times. It may even make you question whether you have the truth or not.

According to Paul, the wise will be made fools through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1Cor. 1:19 God said he would destroy the wisdom of the wise and frustrate the intelligence of the intelligent. Eventually scientists will have to bow their knee to Christ having to give up on their theories. Their intelligence will look foolish when it stands against the Word of God.

We as humans tend to think we know more than we do. We try to rationalize everything and if it doesn't fit into the logic box then it must not be so. But God and His Word is not rational...it is supernatural. God is beyond our natural minds. This is why Proverbs 3:5 says to trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean NOT on your own understanding...

The next time you come across an unrepentant person who thinks Christianity is wrong, remember that their mind can't comprehend God's grace. And since they are trying to rationalize with natural understanding they will not comprehend or grasp the true understanding of who God is. So instead of getting frustrated take a deep breath, present the Gospel, then put them in the hands of the Almighty God.

Get out there and witness! God Bless~
