In this lecture on 1 Corinthians 2:6–16, Don Carson emphasizes that the wisdom of God, revealed through the cross, is accessible only through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit helps believers understand and proclaim the wisdom of the cross, which is foundational to spiritual growth and revival. Carson warns against elitism and stresses the importance of humility and the gospel in true spiritual understanding.
He teaches the following:
- How the wisdom of God contrasts with worldly wisdom and the rulers of this age
- The Holy Spirit searches all things, and only the Spirit of God can understand God’s thoughts
- Why the interpretation of Scripture must be grounded in the Spirit’s guidance
- How the wisdom of the cross is accessible to all believers
- The differences between the natural person and the spiritual person
- The cross as the supreme climax of God’s self-disclosure to humanity
- Why the Spirit’s work is essential in both individual conversions and church revivals
