The spiritual contemplation about Gorinthians 2:6-8
6. We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7. No, we speak of God‘s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
8. None of the rulers of this age understood it. for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
According to these passages, Paul divided the rulers does not know the Spirit of God into 'we' who know the wisdom of God, the Spirit of God.
It was true that all the rulers oppress the majority of people for their preservation of power and to increase their interests. They are evil and they are also the few.
On the contrary, 'We' who Paul mentioned are controlled by them. They are good and they are many.
'the few? or the many?'
If seeing with the eyes of worldly mind, the many almost want to be in the few.
And I also want to go up toward 'the few'.
The problem is whether to belong to the few or to belong to the many.
The rulers in the few do not know God's thought but we in the many know the thought of God through the Spirit of God.
Then this saying is right that the mind of People is the mind of Heaven.
The people in the many are easy to receive the Spirit of God but the rulers in the few are not easy to receive the Spirit of God but the Spirit of the World.
Why is it so? The people in the many are poor and weak in mind. And they get Jesus easily. But the rulers are strong and tight in mind. They have no seat in mind Jesus being with.
However, the mind of people is to be evil. the mind of people is not always the mind of Heaven. They can make group and can do power and it can become collective evil.
The many(we) and the few(rulers) in those days cannot be adapted to the many(we) and the few(rulers) in these days.
The many(we) do not always move through God's Spirit.
