Evening: Psalm 49; Mark 1:29-45
Paul’s language is rough, with few persuasive words and limited eloquence. He wants people to depend on more than human wisdom. Paul distinguishes between the wisdom of the rulers of this age and wisdom that comes from the Spirit. He claims there is a mysterious wisdom in Jesus that previously has been hidden, that human eyes have never seen, that human ears have never heard about, and that has never arisen in the human heart before. Jesus’s hearers are astonished at his teaching and wisdom. Me too! I keep going back to it, and finding more.
