<p>1:25 <em>Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men- </em>That Almighty all-wise God could inspire 1 Cor. 1:25 is another example of God&rsquo;s humility: &ldquo;The foolishness of God&hellip; the weakness of God&rdquo;. In Jer. 14:21 we find something likewise wonderful: &ldquo;Do not abhor <em>us</em>&hellip; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory&rdquo;. <em>We</em>, weak humans, are paralleled with the throne of God&rsquo;s glory.</p><p><em>And the weakness of God is stronger than men- </em>The same word is used in :27 about the believers being &quot;the weak things&quot;. Many times, this word is used about spiritual weakness, especially in 1 Corinthians (4:10; 8:7,10; 9:22; 11:30; 12:22). The foolishness of God has been defined as the cross of Christ; but that is now made parallel to the way God calls spiritually weak persons to be His vehicle of operation. Such an observation was relevant to the Corinthian situation. Those weak believers were used by God on account of their association with the cross of Christ, &quot;the foolishness of God&quot;.</p>
