"We impart a secret and hidden wisdom," 1 Corinthians 2:7.
Ah! So! Hmm. So there is wisdom here after all! A mystery wisdom, indeed! Wisdom that God held fast in his mind, held back from before the beginning of time. Nobody knew it or about it. Not even the powers of present times had a clue. Not the devils. Not a single solitary one got it. (If they knew, they wouldn't have crucified Jesus.) So. Does anyone now understand it? Yes. God's secrets are given away for free. By God's Spirit. To spiritual persons. To persons who have received God's Spirit, instead of the world's spirit. To persons whose spirits God's own Spirit brought to life, not to persons whose souls are still chained to the natural world.
When we see a brother or sister today, we rejoice in the Spirit's truth alive in us. And together, we give thanks to God for opening up his wisdom for us.
