People today run after two things: miraculous signs and wonders, and knowledge. It was no different in Bible times. The apostle Paul acknowledged that Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom. (1 Corinthians 1:22) So when Paul preached Christ crucified as Gods solution to them, the message was to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness. (1 Corinthians 1:23) They didnt understand how getting a revelation of Jesus and His death could give them the miracles they needed or the wisdom they wanted. Beloved, we dont have to run after miracles or wisdom today. We just need to run after Jesus because He is the power of God and the wisdom of God. The more we know Christ and Christ crucified, the more we will have the power and wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24 ...to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
