He has lost His senses

1Cor4 has a great description of Paul. In his own words in v10, "We are fools for Christ's sake". That is his ministry. He is a fool. And he is not ashamed of his position or his actions for God. First, he knows that the foolishness of God is still greater than the wisdom of man. Secondly, he knows that all people, all people are morons. Because they innately wish to leave the Lord who loves them to seek after pointless things of this world; because they willingly turn their back on truth. Our internal nature is foolishness. So if you're going to be a fool anyway, be one for the Lord.

Thirdly, it captures the essence of this great faith: ours is a faith of ridiculous love. I wrote briefly about it earlier. His love for us makes no sense. Our love for others should make no sense. When confronted with senseless love, trying to make sense of it only points to God.

Fools? Yes. Certainly. Me especially. What ambition to want to be the fool.
