As the scripture says. Paul paraphrases Isaiah 64:4 Septuagint. This describes "Christ on the cross," that is, God's secret wisdom. No one ever expected God to act in history by sending the Eternal Logos in human form and having him die on the cross as the means of salvation! The TOTAL glory of God's act in Christ is still beyond human understanding!!!
