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.)
