Wisdom of God, Part One

Eye has not seen nor has it entered into the heart of man. The wisdom displayed in the Gospel is not something that anyone could have dreamed up on his own. As I have so often said, and it is not original with me—if Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John made up Christ and his life, then we ought to worship them, for the magnitude of their work. But they were witnesses, not fiction writers. Even the genius of a Shakespeare or a Tolkien pales before the gospels. They are works of a different or-der, of a different kind of wisdom, that many have imitated, but none have risen even close to the same heights.
