1 Corinthians 2:7-10a
What we utter is God’s
wisdom: a mysterious, a hidden wisdom. God planned it before all ages for our
glory. None of the rulers of this age knew the mystery; if they had known it,
they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. Of this wisdom it is written: “Eye has not seen, ear
has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man what God has prepared for those who love
him.”
Yet God has revealed this wisdom to us through the Spirit.
My grandson
asked his mother and grandmother this question “Is God real or make believe?” He
followed with, “How do you know?”
What are they teaching in preK3 at Jesus
the Good Shepherd school?
How to answer him? How to answer a world asking the same
question?
The problem is too many don’t answer. We
fail to answer the questions of our children and the world because we might utter something wrong.
Don't worry, scripture tells us God is a mystery to
everyone.
God is a mystery to even the smartest of
the age. It is those who look for the answers in the reality of the world of
men instead of the realness of God, They become lost in the world because believers
fail to tell them God is real.
Brothers and sister, tell everyone that
God is real. Telling others that God is real doesn’t need great theology or learned
scriptures. The answer comes from our relationship with God.
When they ask, “How do you know?” Don’t
be afraid to answer. The answer is in how you live your life, how you love one another, and then your words; because, “What we utter is God’s wisdom.”
If those who ask truly want to know if God
is real, our words are God’s wisdom that tells: Eye has not seen; ear has not heard. And by our answer, it will dawn on them what God has prepared for
those who love him.
Those who have no relationship with God
say God is not real only make believe.
But those who believe, our answers come
from the Holy Spirit. They are answers filled with joy, happiness, and love
that can only come from a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
If they are looking for God, trying to
know that he is real. Then the answers that we utter are enough. The Holy
Spirit will do the rest.
Amen
