<em>&quot;I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.&quot; </em>Matthew 11:25<br><br>
It is God's glory—to pour contempt upon human wisdom, and to bring it to nothing—to take the wise in their own craftiness—to lay low in the dust all that man idolizes, that man exalts himself in, and that man loves and adores. If there is one thing in our day more idolized than another, it is the 'wisdom of the creature.'<br><br> If there is one idol which the world lying in wickedness and the world lying in profession, worship more than another (always excepting Mammon—the great idol before whom all fall down and worship), it is creature-wisdom.<br><br> But this text of Scripture makes a direct stab at the vitals of creature-wisdom—<strong>it levels this idol prostrate in the dust</strong>—and as Dagon could not stand before the ark of the covenant, so human wisdom must fall prostrate before this declaration from the mouth of the Son of God, and become a stump.<br><br> All human knowledge, and all human wisdom leave man just where they found him—carnal, sensual, worldly, dead in trespasses and sins!<br><br>
