1 Corinthians 2:6-8

1 Corinthians 2:6 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:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
 
Paul stars here letting us know that he preached to those that were morally and spiritually mature or in other words genuine believers. But he did not speak to those who could not understand as Jesus did in speaking to the people in parables so that only His own would understand through the power of the Holy Spirit. He goes on to let us know the mystery and hidden wisdom of God is ordained unto our glory. The mystery refers to some work or purpose of God unrevealed until now and we do know that Jesus revealed this mystery to the believers. This mystery is the wisdom of God that He has revealed through the Holy Spirit of God to those who are His followers. Finally Paul tells us the crucifixion is proof that the rulers, Jewish religious leaders lacked wisdom. This is saying; that if they had known for sure who Jesus was, they would not have crucified Him. To know only a little of the word is dangerous, we need to be in a church that can help us learn all we can about the word of God before we start deciding what is right and what is wrong. Please attend a church today to get the wisdom and knowledge to help you in your life.
