1 Corinthians 2:10-16 – The True
Wisdom of God
For what human being knows
what is truly human except the human spirit that is within? So also no one
comprehends what is truly God’s except the Spirit of God. Now we have received
not the spirit of the work, but the Sprit that is from God, so that we may
understand the gift bestowed on us by God. And we speak of theses things in
words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the spirit, interpreting spiritual
things to those who are spiritual. Those who are unspiritual do not receive the
gifts of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to them, and they are unable to
understand them because they are discerned spiritually. Those who are spiritual
discern all things, and they are themselves subject to no one else scrutiny.
For who has known the mind of the Lord to instruct him? But we have the mind of
Christ.
Luke 4:31-37 – The Man with
Unclean Spirit
He went down to Capernaum, a
city in Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbath. They were astounded at
his teaching, because he spoke with authority. In the synagogue, there was a
man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
“Let us alone! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to
destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” But Jesus rebuked him,
saying, “Be silent, and come out of him.” When the demon had thrown him down
before them, he came out of him without having done him any harm.
Father
Nino Cavoto said that in the gospel, the people in
Capernaum were astounded by Jesus’ words and the way he spoke when he healed a man with unclean spirit. Let us ask ourselves if we are astounded by the words of God. We should also listen to the words of God like “Follow me” and "Do not be
afraid.” God's message is
to renew ourselves and seek the His healing power.
