WORLDLY WISE

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 9:39 KJV And Jesus said, For judgment, I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

After the blind man who was healed expressed that prompt faith in the Lord, (Joh 9:39) the Lord Jesus said,  “For judgment, I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.”  What He meant was that those who think they are wise in their understanding will be blinded by their own wisdom to His saving grace. The scriptures have revealed countless times that the worldly wise always cannot see that amazing grace of God. .1Co 1:26 KJV” For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:” This preceding verse simply means many who are wise in the sense of the world reject the simplicity of Christ Salvation., as a result, are lost in their sins.

Why would such people reject such salvation? The truth is it does not make sense to their understanding. They ask why God should kill to save us? You may be such a person arguing about salvation through the cross of Christ. Dearly beloved reader, Man sinned from the beginning. According to God’s law, the wages,  payment, or further still the results of man’s sins is death, but the gift of God is eternal life( Rom 6:23). Jesus gave us eternal life by giving His life on the cross. All who have humbly believed this great news are wonderfully saved and set free from whatever bondage that held them. The Lord said those who claim to be wise cannot accept it.

Just consider what God says.1Co 1:18 KJV” For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” My dear one, if you are rejecting this message, then according to the scriptures, you are perishing.

Can you consider the following questions?

1. Where would you go after you’ve died and left this body?

2. Do you have the peace that passes understanding?

3. Do you know there is life after death?

4. Since you are not certain about any of these questions why not play it safe by believing on Jesus, so you would not be shocked to know all these things were indeed true, yet it would be too late for you after your death?

BE WISE, AND ACCEPT JESUS TODAY.

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus , I do not know so much, yet I would not want to be a fool, at the end of the day, I accept you as my Lord and Saviour and surrender my life to you. Reveal yourself to me, that I may have  a sure faith and reliance in you. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul.
