The Narrow Limits of Human Comprehension in Spiritual Matters
1 Corinthians 2:11-12
For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man…


I. WITHOUT HELP MAN KNOWS —

1. Very little of himself.

2. Still less of his fellow-man.

3. Least of all about God.

II. THIS SHOULD TEACH HIM —

1. Modesty in his judgments.

2. Humility in his inquiries.

3. Confidence in the Word of God, for the Spirit knoweth all things.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
