I Corinthians 2:14 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. 15 The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
As Paul writes to this church riddled with division, He begins with an emphasis on the Wisdom of God as being the core of his teaching, and what these people needed to return to. Somehow strong personalities had come into the church and swayed people away, changing their minds, their way of thinking. As I have sat in meetings with leaders at other churches going through problems, asking questions and listening to responses, it amazes me how often I encounter those who do not have the Mind of Christ. They think, talk and act like corporate leaders, volunteer committees, and extended clans, but have no ability to see how their words and actions are so unlike Christ. If they don't get their way, they go away and do the same thing elsewhere. May we as His people have the humility and wisdom to seek the Mind of Chirst.
