Amen

Paul challenges Corinthian Christ-followers to look around the church and observe that those most esteemed by the world are strangely absent in the church. By and large, the church is not composed of wise men, scholars, and debaters of the day. The church is not made up of the cultural elite. In I Cor 1:26-31, Paul urges them to look around the church to see who is present. The church is not made up of the upper crust of society but rather the rejected and despised of society. Of course there are exceptions, but the rule is clear. The world regards God's wisdom as foolish because it is incapable of comprehending or accepting His truth. God's wisdom is a mystery which outsiders cannot grasp, and no one would have known apart from divine revelation.
