GREAT WISDOM OF GOD - SERIES
SYNOPSIS AND CONTENTS
?
“Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this?generation” Luke 11:49-50 (KJV).

Jesus Christ’s crucifixion on the cross is the perfect example of the wisdom spoken of in Luke 11:49,50. This wisdom and righteous judgement of God confounds the world (who see it as foolishness) but perfects the mandatory judgement for every sin required of an uncompromising, perfect, and righteous Judge as stated all over the Bible. “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger?than?men” 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 (KJV).

God has made it possible in Christ to perfect every willing believer with the concealed blessings of reproaches (having made reproaches to be a great blessing in Christ), to make the matured believer (with clear understanding of this truth) to rejoice and be exceedingly glad, to easily bear the fruit of perfect love and of the “lips giving thanks to God” continually (Hebrews 13:12-15; 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18).

Every sin must be judged (Galatians 6:7,8). “Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after” 1 Timothy 5:24 (KJV). God has provided two options for every man to choose – either (1) to have their sins perfectly judged in Christ in this lifetime to be completely free, or (2) to postpone their judgement to hereafter when it will be without remedy. The one without understanding dreads this judgement to wish it away and therefore stumbles unawares, but the one with understanding embraces it with joy for his past sins to be perfectly judged in Christ.

In this series we examine this great wisdom, in two parts, to help or refresh the believer with the understanding of this hidden wisdom to continually enjoy its blessings. Part 1 examines what righteous judgement is and how it constitutes great wisdom. In part 2 we will see how to fully benefit from it to easily overcome this world and all its threats. The sinner or backslider must repent and believe in Jesus Christ to be born-again or be restored first before this message can make sense to him.
Come out of any opposition to Christ before it is too late, because He will judge this world in righteousness at the end of this world. "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead" Acts 17:30-31 (KJV).
