Truly Seeing the Cross is Supernatural (7 of 7)

1 Corinthians 2:6-16
Today is Palm Sunday. It’s a day when we stop to remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. It was the last week of His earthly life. Today, Jesus enters into the most important religious city to the applause and praise of multitude of people. From Sunday’s praise and Palm branches to Friday’s chants of “Crucify Him!” Have you ever wondered, “How did the people change their opinions of Jesus so quickly?”
Today’s message is designed to answer two questions: 1) Why People Conspired Together to Kill Jesus Christ and 2) Why Do Only Some People See This.
“Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—
10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.” (1 Corinthians 2:6-13)
