Wisdom in the mystery []


± 1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

When God gave instructions to build his tabernacle, he gave the artists and workers "...he filled [them] with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;" They were about the business of forming symbols in the architecture and artifacts of the tabernacle.

Wisdom is the understanding of God's mystery through the symbols. ; particularly, understanding the mystery of the cross. [1]

  1. ± 1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. ± 1Co 1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. ± 1Co 1:20 Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ± 1Co 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
