Is Jesus the Messiah God’s ultimate miracle and wisdom all wrapped up in one?

Jesus is God’s ultimate miracle and wisdom

Different cultures and religions have unique views of God. There is only one message though.

That is the message of Jesus. He is everything wrapped up in something that doesn’t make sense to our puny minds.

The message actually seems absurd to us. It doesn’t make sense to us at our human level.

God is absolute perfection and completely set apart from what we naturally know.

God is God.

Jesus came and has given us the key to enter into His presence.  Jesus is everything we need.

While Jews clamor for miraculous demonstrations and Greeks go in for philosophical  wisdom, we go right on proclaiming the Messiah, the Crucified. Jews treat this like an anti-miracle—and Greeks pass it off as absurd. But to us who are personally called by God himself—both Jews and Greeks—the Messiah is God’s ultimate miracle and wisdom all wrapped up in one. Human wisdom is so tiny, so impotent, next to the seeming absurdity of God. Human strength can’t begin to compete with God’s “weakness.”  1 Corinthians 1:22-25
