1 Corinthians 1, verses 18-31 Says:
Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.
26Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” NIV
Song Lyrics:
Songwriters: Ellis, John Andrew
What wisdom hangs a man up on a tree
As the only way to end my misery?
What kind of thinking made the way to heaven hard –
A crooked journey down a straight and narrow path?CHORUS
How can I make sense of this?I am living in God’s foolishness
All the money and the power and the cleverness
Of this world, defeated by foolishness
Foolish things shame the kingsWhat wisdom puts the prophet in a desert place
[ Tree63 Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Nobody to hear a single word he says?
And what wisdom brings reward from suffering
Where if I want to win I have to lose everything?CHORUS
Cool water from a rock – salvation from a Nazarene
Dethroned for the unloved – a cross in the heart of GodCHORUS
I reasoned myself to death but
I was saved by foolishness
All my big ideas made such a mess
But I’m clean now, saved from foolishness
Foolish things made a king from a fool
