The Hidden Wisdom Of God.

“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” 1 Cor. 2:7-8.

The devil and his cohorts were devising plans to get people to reject the Gospel. "Let's go to them and say there is no God," proposed one. Silence prevailed. Every devil knew that most people believe in a supreme being. "Let's tell them there is no hell, no future punishment for the wicked," offered another. That was turned down, because men obviously have consciences which tell them that sin must be punished. The concave was going to end in failure when there came a voice from the rear: "Tell them there is a God, there is a hell and that the Bible is the Word of God. But tell them there is plenty of time to decide the question. Let’s tell them to neglect the Gospel, until it is too late." All hell erupted with ghoulish glee, for they knew that if a person procrastinated on Christ, they usually never accepted Him.

As it seems this far, satan seems to be having a swell time. His plans seem to be quite successful. He has succeeded in keeping many away from the faith and the gospel. He has kept many so-called believers in the state of being lukewarm and motionless Spiritually. His plans are on course. The greatest undoing of Satan however was the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross of Calvary. If the devil was aware of what would happen after crucifying Jesus, he would not have ventured into it.  But unfortunately for him, he never knew of the glorious manifestation of God's purpose for humanity through the death of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

"None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Cor. 2:8.  The employees of the devil and their master did not understand that their kingdom was going to be depopulated if they crucify Jesus because the blood they planned to shed had the capacity to defeat sin. Through His son's death on the cross, God dealt with every person's sin.  Jesus stood in the gap for every individual in the world on the cross and released forgiveness to everyone who receives Him. Jesus took the punishment of our sins on the cross. We were all guilty as charged and the penalties were hanging upon our necks. We were all supposed to be crucified.  

The devil and his cohorts did not understand that the barrier that was created between God and man in the Garden of Eden would be broken through the cross. Irrespective of satanic agenda, the cross changes the equation forever to the advantage of the believer, get up and take your place.
