The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
(1 Corinthians 2:14-16 ESV)
Why don't they get it? Do you find yourself asking that question a lot? Why don't people see the truth and get the picture about why they, and the world around us is such a mess? Because they cannot see; they do not have the spiritual eyes; they do not have the mind of Christ. So where does that leave us? Making sure we act like upon what we know - what they can see is us - Christ in us, as we act with the mind of Christ. Then, as we share the truth, and the Spirit works with what they can see and do hear, He can change their hearts and lives. We have the responsibility, because we have the mind of Christ.
