Why this way? Because that’s how God hid his treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Col 2). Perhaps they were hidden so only those with eyes to see will find them. These treasures are hidden in Christ, and we need a renewed mind and renewed eyes or else the treasures will not be recognizable. They will appear as foolishness. And Prov 25:2 says God conceals the revelation of his word in the hiding place of his glory, which in my mind is brilliant. He hid these treasures in plain sight, in the radiance of God’s glory—his Son (Heb 1)so that all who have eyes to see could see. This is the brilliant wisdom of the Upside-Down Kingdom.
“Why THIS way?” If explored, just might lead to, the question as the carrot stick, pulling us into a search that opens the door to discover “The Best Answer Ever!” Incarnation beyond our control, and our wildest dreams! Conceptual words like “quality”, “inclusivity”, “consolation”, “redemption”, “new birth”, etc. can take us to a place we actually get to see The Trinity in a polka circle!
Have we followed Jesus this long and not yet discover deeper meanings beyond our own inventions?!
