On the contrary, we are communicating a secret wisdom from God
which has been hidden until now but which, before history began, God had
decreed would bring us glory. Not one of
this world’s leaders has understood it; because if they had, they would not
have executed the Lord from whom this glory flows. But, as the Tanakh says, “No Eye Has
Seen, No Ear Has Heard And No One’s Heart Has Imagined All The
Things That God Has Prepared For Those Who Love Him.” It is to us, however, that God has revealed
these things. How? Through the Spirit.
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. John
1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Matthew 22:1–14 (NASB95) 1 Jesus spoke to them
again in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared
to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. 3 “And he sent out
his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they
were unwilling to come. 4 “Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold,
I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all
butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.” ’ 5
“But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to
his business, 6 and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them
and killed them. 7 “But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies
and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. 8 “Then he
said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not
worthy. 9 ‘Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find
there, invite to the wedding feast.’ 10 “Those slaves went
out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good;
and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests. 11 “But when the
king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not
dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did
you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13
“Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him
into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.’ 14 “For many are
called, but few are chosen.”
John 10:1–18 (The Living Bible) 1 “Anyone refusing to walk through the gate into a sheepfold, who
sneaks over the wall, must surely be a thief! 2 For a shepherd comes
through the gate. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the
sheep hear his voice and come to him; and he calls his own sheep by name and
leads them out. 4 He walks ahead of them; and they follow him, for
they recognize his voice. 5 They won’t follow a stranger but will
run from him, for they don’t recognize his voice.” 6 Those who heard
Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, 7 so he
explained it to them. “I am the Gate for the sheep,” he said. 8 “All
others who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not
listen to them. 9 Yes, I am the Gate. Those who come in by way of
the Gate will be saved and will go in and out and find green pastures. 10
The thief ’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life
in all its fullness. 11 “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep. 12 A hired man will run when he
sees a wolf coming and will leave the sheep, for they aren’t his and he isn’t
their shepherd. And so the wolf leaps on them and scatters the flock. 13
The hired man runs because he is hired and has no real concern for the sheep. 14
“I am the Good Shepherd and know my own
sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know
the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have
other sheep, too, in another fold. I must bring them also, and they will heed
my voice; and there will be one flock with one Shepherd. 17 “The
Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may have it back again. 18
No one can kill me without my consent—I lay down my life voluntarily. For I
have the right and power to lay it down when I want to and also the right and
power to take it again. For the Father has given me this right.”
1 Corinthians 2:6–16 (CJB) 6 Yet there is a
wisdom that we are speaking to those who are mature enough for it. But it is
not the wisdom of this world or of this world’s leaders, who are in the process
of passing away. 7 On the contrary, we are communicating a secret
wisdom from God which has been hidden until now but which, before history
began, God had decreed would bring us glory. 8 Not one of this
world’s leaders has understood it; because if they had, they would not have
executed the Lord from whom this glory flows. 9 But, as the Tanakh
says, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard and no one’s heart has
imagined all the things that God has prepared for those who love
him.” 10 It is to us, however, that God has revealed these
things. How? Through the Spirit. For the Spirit probes all things, even the
profoundest depths of God. 11 For who knows the inner workings of a
person except the person’s own spirit inside him? So too no one knows the inner
workings of God except God’s Spirit. 12 Now we have not received the
spirit of the world but the Spirit of God, so that we might understand the
things God has so freely given us. 13 These are the things we are
talking about when we avoid the manner of speaking that human wisdom would
dictate and instead use a manner of speaking taught by the Spirit, by which we
explain things of the Spirit to people who have the Spirit. 14 Now
the natural man does not receive the things from the Spirit of God—to him they
are nonsense! Moreover, he is unable to grasp them, because they are evaluated
through the Spirit. 15 But the person who has the Spirit can
evaluate everything, while no one is in a position to evaluate him. 16
For who has known the mind of Adonai?
Who will counsel him? But we have the mind of the Messiah!

2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights
of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
