The wisdom of God follows an opposite track as the wisdom of the world.
The world celebrates power, prestige, and performance.
It reserves its affections for humanity before all else.
Worldly wisdom is about toward getting gain in this life right now.
Yet, godly wisdom teaches that God’s glory is supreme.
God made humanity to be with Him in peace, that we might serve Him and that He may bless us.
Godly wisdom celebrates human humility & lowliness, trust in the Lord, and the promise of incomprehensible gain in heaven with the Lord.
Godly wisdom culminates in greatness and glory.
Yet, until the day when all is revealed, it appears weak and lowly.
In this humble appearance, worldly wisdom despises godly wisdom as foolish, a wasted life.
But to the one who believes in the Lord, it is the power of God.
The cornerstone of godly wisdom is the gospel.
Specifically, I point out the cross.
It is singularly the most important, powerful, and life-changing event in history.
Yet, it did not look as though at the time.
Even today, the worldly wise mock it and belittle it as weakness.
But as Paul says in
The event of the cross, Calvary, is precious to us as Christians.
While the world boasts in men and human accomplishment, Christians make the cross their boast.
1 Corinthians 1:
The cross was brutally ugly.
It was evil what they did to Jesus.
Crucifixion was a bloody, sick ordeal.
The cross was brutally ugly.
It was evil what they did to Jesus.
Crucifixion was a bloody, sick ordeal.

Yet, laying deeper than the cuts, blood, and bruises.
Beyond the humiliation and shame, something revolutionary, divine, holy, and pure was taking place.
God was at work.

You may not have seen it because of the mocking crown of thorns, but on that execution device, the OT prophecy about the Messiah was being fulfilled.

Suffering Servant who would heal the people of God and return as the Conquering King to usher in the kingdom.
Is.53:4-
Jesus was the Suffering Servant who would heal the people of God and return as the Conquering King to usher in the kingdom.
Suffering Servant who would heal the people of God and return as the Conquering King to usher in the kingdom.
You might have missed it behind the heaving and suffocation, but the cross represented the completion of a life of obedience.
Not...one...fail... in an entire life.
Jesus never missed the mark when it came to the law of God.
This means He never sinned, yet on the cross He would die.
This created a cosmic complication that broke death.
Suddenly, death had possession of a man it was not entitled to.
Never had this happened before.
On the cross, when Jesus gave up His spirit, the hold of sin, death, and the devil on mankind started to unravel.

You may not have noticed it because of the wailing and mourning of the women who followed Jesus, including his own mother, but on the cross He became our wrath-bearing substitute.
Because of our sin, we face the wrath of God.
Goodness must destroy wickedness if it is really good.

Therefore...
Yet...

Suddenly an imbalance has occurred, and we have sin, yet with no condemnation.
The arrangement of the cross is that we repent, believe, and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, and our sins are forgiven as our due judgment has been paid for.
Further, not only is our sin and condemnation cleansed away, Jesus imputes His own righteousness upon us.
This is the exact opposite of Adams imputation of sin upon us through sin guilt and our desire for sin.

You may not have recognized it for the taunts and insults tossed at Jesus, but the execution by crucifixion is the example Jesus set for His followers.
He suffered and died in His life for us and He tells us to love others through giving ourselves up for others, even suffering for them and even dying for them.
We love the Lord by giving up ourselves for Him, even to suffer and die for the Gospel.
We are ourselves to be crucified figuratively, ,
I have been crucified with Christ.
I have been crucified with Christ.
