Matthew Henry Commentary 1 Corinthians 2:6-9

"We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought: but we speak God`s wisdom in a mystery, [even] the [wisdom] that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And [which] entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him." — 1 Corinthians 2:6-9 (ASV)

Those who receive the doctrine of Christ as Divine, and having been enlightened by the Holy Spirit, have carefully examined it, see not only the plain history of Christ and him crucified, but also the deep and admirable designs of Divine wisdom in it. It is the mystery made manifest to the saints (Colossians 1:26), though formerly hidden from the Gentile world; it was previously shown only in dark types and distant prophecies, but now it is revealed and made known by the Spirit of God.

Jesus Christ is the Lord of glory; a title much too great for any creature. There are many things which people would not do if they knew the wisdom of God in the great work of redemption. There are things God has prepared for those who love him and wait for him, which the senses cannot perceive, which no teaching can convey to our ears, nor can it yet enter into our hearts.

We must accept them as they stand in the Scriptures, as God has been pleased to reveal them to us.
