SELF WISDOM WILL FAIL

1 Cor.I:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

The worldly-wise men who come to Christ as poor lost sinners, will become wise unto salvation; but those who come as distinguished men, extolling their own wisdom, will fail of receiving the light and knowledge that He alone can give. {AA 240.1}
