1 Corinthians 2:7 – But we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory.
Jesus is the unexpected Hidden Mystery prophesied before the ages to our glory.
Colossians 2:2 – and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s Mystery, that is, Christ Himself.
1 Corinthians 2:8 – the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1 Corinthians 2:9 – but just as it is written, “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.”
The eyes of man did not see Jesus rightly; the ears of man did not hear Jesus correctly; the heart of man never dreamed that the God we love so dearly has prepared a lowly Jewish carpenter’s Son for us.
