Poetry
The message of the cross,
Foolish who will perish;
But God gives after loss,
The saved who do cherish.
God kills wisdom of wise,
Set aside understanding;
Of experts through His eyes,
What He is demanding.
Where is the wise and scribe?
The scholar of this age;
Debaters who will gibe,
Upon the worldly stage.
God made foolish wisdom,
Since wisdom of the Lord;
Of heavenly kingdom,
Man, basically ignored.
God was pleased to save those,
That foolishness was reached;
Where through the message flows,
Believing the message preached.
For the Jews ask for signs,
And the Greeks seek wisdom;
While the Lord refines,
What is spiritual freedom.
We preach Christ crucified,
Stumbling block to Jews;
Foolishness Greeks denied,
That they refused to choose.
Yet to those who are called,
As a Jew or a Greek;
Continue to be flawed,
Since truth they do not seek.
Foolishness is wiser,
Than the wisdom of man;
God is the advisor,
With the ultimate plan.
No one can ever boast,
Being in His presence;
Praise the heavenly host,
Boasting Him in essence.
