If the “wisdom” of God for human history is the message of the crucified Messiah, then the hope for humanity arising from it is, by contrast, indescribably glorious (vv. 6-13). Paul knew firsthand what it was like to be blinded to the glory of Jesus Christ. Although there is no record he was among those who called for Jesus’s death, he was of the same mind in the early days of the church. God had been merciful to him and by the Spirit’s special illumination, Paul had glimpsed—but only just glimpsed—the glory of Jesus Christ that far surpassed what humans are able to see apart from the Spirit’s illumination.
