God's secret wisdom. The world does not understand the value of God's wisdom in "Christ on the cross," because they are completely unqualified to do so. The Corinthian Christians only partly understood, because they were "spiritual babies" (1 Corinthians 3:1-3). Hidden from men. MacKnight sees in this Paul showing that none but the apostles had the authority to reveal the Good News in an infallible manner; and that the false teachers were impostors who had no truth to reveal. Which God had already chosen. This shows that "Christ on the cross" was God's Plan even before Creation!
