And to most of the gentiles it seemed foolishness.

It was not foolishness, however.
It was the greatest wisdom.

A few have responded to this divine wisdom.
The man, however, who thought himself wise would not become a follower of Jesus.

It was not a popular thing.

And so it has ever been throughout the gospel age that those who have really come to the Lord, made a consecration and followed in his footsteps, have been the meek and lowly of heart who are anxious to know the Lord and his great plan.
