“these are the things God has revealed to us by
his Spirit...”
I Corinthians 2:10a
“...by His Spirit...”
Not in a classroom taught by a teacher to his students.
Not in a boardroom taught by the captains of industry.
Not in a seminary instructed by the great theologians
of the day.
Not even from a pulpit on Sunday morning.
In none of these places are we necessarily taught what
God has prepared for those who love Him.
Rather, He reveals it “...by His Spirit...”
It’s not that He can’t or won’t reveal it in any or
all of those places but it will never come from a ‘canned syllabus’, lesson
plan or a CEO’s best presentation.
It is instead, a revelation given.
By His Spirit to our spirit!
A revelation given as we walk with Him side-by-side
and moment by moment.
All of these other ‘classrooms’ have their place but
we only deceive ourselves if we think for a moment that we can understand all
God is and all that He has for us with our natural minds.
They are spiritually discerned, spiritually received.
That in itself limits the audience to those whose
spirits have been made alive by the Spirit of Christ.
Are you His?
