1 Corinthians 3-5

Once again Paul brings up the concept of foolishness. In 3:18 he encourages the believers to give up their worldly wisdom in favor of the foolishness of the world; as displayed in the Gospel. That is where true wisdom is developed. The foolishness he addresses here is to not consider the one who delivers the message of Christ but to always focus on Christ. That is a wisdom that is needed in the church of America today. There are too many times that we adhere to the wisdom of one leader rather than keep our focus on Christ and his Kingdom. I have been guilty of that. When we rightly assess who we are and keep our eyes focused on Jesus we will let the trivial arguments of this world crumble. That will reveal to real wisdom of God unfailing love as displayed in Christ Jesus and his sacrifice.
