The gift of revelation
But how do we receive this wisdom? This wisdom is not the product of our intellectual searching. In fact there is nothing we can do to attain it – it is completely hopeless! But precisely because we can do nothing to earn it, we are free to receive it as a gift – a gift which means that the initiative resides not with us but with the giver. He reveals Himself even to those who do not seek Him, proving that this message is not the product of enquiring minds or wishful thinking, but a truth that stands on its own whether we believe it or not, whether we seek it or not.
What no eye has seen, no ear has heard and has not entered the mind of man … God revealed through His Spirit. God devised a way for us to see, what no eye has seen, to hear what no ear has heard, and to understand what no mind can conceive.
