Knowing Nothing...

"When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power." (1 Corinthians 2:1-5).

This is Paul talking...Paul! You know, the guy who wrote many of the New Testament books. The guy that has a huge impact on Christians of many, many, many generations. And yet, he claims to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. That's pretty powerful. Paul is showing that all the wisdom in the world is nothing. The only true wisdom is the knowledge, trust, hope, and belief in the Father.

When we go to others, hoping to lead them to Christ, we need to have this kind of attitude. We need to not try and be crafty with our words. Instead, we just need to tell people what we know about Jesus. We need to come to those we hope to lead to Christ in "weakness and fear," not as "wise and persuasive," but instead we simply need to be honest. We need to admit that we don't know it all, but what we do know is this...Jesus Christ is the Savior!

Who will you share Christ with today?
