Not Many Wise, ., are Called
1 Corinthians 1:25-28
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.…


I. THE FACT.

1. Undeniable.

2. Lamentable.

3. Worthy of consideration.

II. THE REASON. Not that God despises human wisdom, &c. — it is His gift — but that these gifts are perverted —

1. By pride, in judging the things of God which are beyond human understanding.

2. By unbelief which rejects salvation.

3. By moral blindness occasioning self-sufficiency and independence.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
