The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.” So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.” 1 Corinthians 1v18-20 (NLT)

John 14v6 (NIV) says “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Amen. This is the gospel truth. But this truth can be seen as foolishness by the world. The philosophers, the scholars and the world’s brilliant debaters, can try to use their wisdom to explain life and eternity and peace with God, but God’s wisdom makes their wisdom look foolish. 1 Corinthians 1v25 (AMP) says “[This is] because the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men, and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men.” Child of God remember “But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God much [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].” Hebrews 11v6 (AMP).

“Where is the wise man (the philosopher)? Where is the scribe (the scholar)? Where is the investigator (the logician, the debater) of this present time and age? Has not God shown up the nonsense and the folly of this world’s wisdom? For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).” 1 Corinthians 1v20&21 (AMP)
