Introduction
We are going to dive right into the text today and there is much to cover.
This is a pivotal text in 1 Corinthians that gets right at the heart of the issues they were facing.
He has just told them in the text we looked at last week, 2:1-5, that when he originally came to them he deliberately ignored human wisdom and intellect.
Instead he brought to them the simple Gospel in a simple style so that they for sure knew that their trust was not in human wisdom, but in God’s power to save.
Now he will continue hammering that truth home and strike at the core of our faith.
– 2 For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
3 I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling.
4 And my message and my preaching were very plain.
Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit.
5 I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.
6 Yet when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten.
7 No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began.
8 But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord.
9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”
10 But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit.
For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.
11 No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.
