I Corinthians 2: The Mind of Christ
Continuing his thoughts about wisdom and foolishness, Paul makes a breathtaking claim in the second chapter: Christians have access to the deep things of God, through the Spirit that searches all things, even God Himself! Through God's own Spirit, which also inhabits us, we have the mind of Christ. What a concept! So much for foolishness by the world's standard. I will take the mind of Christ any day!

1 Corinthians 2:14 NIV
ReplyDeleteThe person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
This could explain some of the reactions I hear from old high school friends when I tell them what I am up to these days.
Don't fret! "Fools for Christ" comes into play in the fourth chapter.
