ALWAYS FOOLS DAY

1 Corinthians 4:10
We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored!

Romans1:22-23
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Most often foolishness is paired with wisdom in Scripture. What is interesting is that Romans tells us that when we claim to be wise, then we are fools. I don't think the opposite is true. There is no wisdom in proclaiming foolishness. But there is wisdom in knowing that we are very very small in the span of all things eternal. Despite our minute stature, God finds us worthy of redemption and offers undying love to us. When we accept that we are on the road to wisdom. Then we learn to be fools for Christ, following in faith when the world would say we were blind. The cross is foolish to the lost. But it is our only hope. It is power over death, sin, and satan. It is foolish to think that we control our own destiny. Wisdom trusts in God and leans not on our own understanding. We are always fools to the lost. Happy April 1st.
