We often demand miracles, signs, wonders from God before believing in Him. This week, Tyler Jones takes us through 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 and the audacity with which we demand such things.
"So you think the gospel is a form of wisdom? How foolish can you get? Look at its message; it is based on the story of a crucified Messiah. Who in the name of wisdom would have dreamed that up?" - Gordon Fee
John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Reflection Questions:
What we believe is foolish unless Jesus is God. However, if Jesus is God, then wisdom apart from Him is actually folly. Where are you with Jesus? Are you perishing?
Do you demand signs from God before you will devote your life to Him, or mandate knowledge before you will follow Him? Which idolatry is yours? How can you turn to God, or how can you make your “turning back” practical?
No one boasts in the presence of God--no one, we can only boast of the work of God. How are you allowing God to work in your life? How will you show Jesus?
