11-Mar-12: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25
18 For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written,”I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”
20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe.
22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom,
23 but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
24 but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
“…………..and you say all those folks back there are foolish?”
“Ohsee, meesee, mysee–we just bees so silly-willy-nilly, all fallen down!”
So did Stumpy and Littley and Spottedy and all friends hugged in rest.
“Oh, now ye be stopped; now ye be all whopped out, “did Old Crow caw to crown
Those healing and panting friends with love from above for holding in breast.
“Oh, but wesee beesee so most foolsee-woolsee, can’t you see, Old Caw?”
“Whysee usees, sent to quest, climb, crawl to east for light, Light, LIGHT?”
“Why, know ye not? Have ye not seen? Have ye not been? Have ye not held that Paw?”
“Ye most lovely crittery ones walk in proof ye hold none wise but The One of Might!”
