“Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in
the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:5) Previous to this Paul says, I came to
you not with excellence of speech or of wisdom. I don’t know anything except
Jesus and him crucified.
I am right there with
Paul. I know nothing except God lives, and Jesus is the Christ. I don’t know
how the world was made or all the laws of science or the creations. I know a
few things because of experiences I have had that are solid and concrete. As I
read, and live the gospel I learn more. Maybe if I live long enough I will know
as much as Noah, who walked with God, or Abraham or Esther or Mary, or Anna a
prophetess, who departed not from the temple but served God with fasting and
prayers night and day. Anna recognized the baby Jesus when Mary and Joseph went
to the Temple to present the child to God as was the law of Moses. Can we find
him here in our day? Not without seeking and not without repentance, and not
without faith.
