Introduction: Let me remind you that Jesus is the one that “CHOOSES”! In fact, He CHOOSES us instead of us CHOOSING Him!! Isn’t that wonderful? Paul, led by the Holy Spirit, writes on this subject to the Church of Corinth. Check it out.

1. Jesus CHOOSES who He USES!

“26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.” (1Cor 1:26)

Our Lord is reminding the believers in the Church of Corinth that Jesus is the one that CHOOSES His servants.
The same principle applies to us today.

2. The World REFUSES who JESUS CHOOSES!

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence.”(1Cor 1:27-29)

The world’s heroes are God’s zeros!

3. So instead of EXCUSES, and in-spite of ABUSES, PRAISE the LORD JESUS for His CHOICES and stand back and watch how He PRODUCES!

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” (1Cor 1:30,31)

Blossom child of God!
