A superior education is great for human endeavors. But what did Jesus say about the most important education one can receive?

Mat 11:25-26 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (26) Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

When God is done with all this, not one human being is going to have bragging rights about anything but the plain old Gospel. Human pride, especially of those the world recognizes for their brilliance, will be burnt to a cinder. Nothing left of it. Nothing.

So yes, all your scholars CAN be wrong, and that silly old street preacher right. Why? Not because the street preacher is any better than your scholar. Not at all. It's just that God's designed this Gospel, on purpose, to trip up the self-wise, those who rest in words of human wisdom, and not in the power of God:

1Co 1:17-21 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. (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. (19) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. (20) Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (21) For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

Peace,
