God's hidden wisdom
His wisdom is not something that can be discovered or understood through human reasoning or intellectual pursuits.
No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord.

1 Corinthians 2:7-8 discusses the hidden wisdom of God that was ordained before the ages for the glory of those who believe in Christ. This wisdom is described as a mystery, meaning it was not known or understood by humanity until it was revealed by God. The passage highlights that this wisdom is not something that can be discovered or understood through human reasoning or intellectual pursuits, but it is a divine revelation.
In verse 8, it is mentioned that none of the rulers of this age, who are understood to be the spiritual powers of darkness, understood this wisdom. If they had, they would not have crucified Jesus Christ. This suggests that the crucifixion of Jesus was part of God's plan, which was hidden from the powers of darkness.
The passage emphasizes the superiority of God's wisdom over human wisdom and the importance of divine revelation in understanding God's plan and purposes.
