Recently while watching my grandchildren open their gifts, I couldn’t help but see a connection between them and many of us adult Christians. They excitedly tore at the packages with sounds of “oohs” and “aahs” as they finally discovered what had been hiding behind the glitter and colored paper.

The reality of a new year is upon us. For many, this is a time of apprehension as well as expectation. We wonder, “Is this the year God will do the “new thing” we hear so much about, or will this be another year where our expectations fade into the mundane routine of life?” New years are always special, for they mark a beginning that we all seem to need. In them we set goals, make resolutions, and boldly declare that, “this year it will be different.”

“Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called…Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:22-25)
This text reveals a perplexing reality that many of us either do not understand or simply try to eliminate. Of all the limitless possibilities and options that God had at His disposal to save fallen man, why did He choose the one we were most likely to reject?
