How God Destroys Human Pride
Thursday, January 7, 2016
In 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Paul's message is that God won't tolerate human pride, so he chooses people who have nothing to brag about. Paul tells us first about The People God Chooses. In verse 26 we learn that not many of the Corinthians came from the educated or upper classes of society. Paul, in a sense, holds up a mirror and says, "Take a good look. What do you see?" If they were honest, they didn't see many impressive people. They saw ordinary men and women, from undistinguished backgrounds, whose lives had been radically changed by Jesus Christ.
