Based on the Old Testament, it shouldn’t have been so unexpected that the arrival of Jesus would entail a mission to reach the poor with the good news, but coming and living as one of the poor? That was unexpected for many then and perhaps for many still today.

Luke 1v39-56

What does it mean that God took on flesh, why was it unexpected, and how does it shape our lives today?

Paul compares and contrasts the wisdom of God with the “wisdom” of the world as seen in the Greek sophists, itinerate philosophers, and teachers. He gives three examples. The second is God’s people. “Not many noble are called...” God uses the weak, poor, and broken to glorify Jesus and expand the kingdom.  

The gospel can’t be understood with the lenses of human wisdom, it’s another way entirely. So will we trust in what makes sense to us according to our human “wisdom” or will we take the risk of faith and trust in Jesus’ counterintuitive cross?
