In the most basic and popular way, and not without the help of Aurélio, we could define
"logic" as being:the coherence of reasoning, of ideasAnd in a theological way,
spiritual and with the divine simplicity that is always so peculiar, contrary to the human one
which is always so complex, we could say that: God's logic is inversely
proportional to the logic of man, it is mathematically and philosophically crazy, but,
spiritually and divinely wise.
The giants of the world are like Goliath, the giants of God are like little David.
The human giants are large, strong, well-armed, and disdain God, they trust
in their own strengths, in the power of their weapons, in what is apparent and visible, in what
that human logic determines. God's giants are completely dependent on Him,
they recognize their weakness and incompetence and trust only and exclusively in God,
because, while the enormous giants of the world stand on their own feet, the small ones
God's giants kneel. It is on their knees that God's giant is greater.
In divine logic, the weak are the strong:My grace is sufficient for you, because my
power is perfected in weakness. Therefore, I will gladly boast all the more in my weaknesses.
my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I feel
pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in needs, in persecutions, in anguishes
for the love of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.2 Corinthians
12:9-10)In human logic, this is irrational, for the world does not appreciate the weak.

The divine logic says to whoever wants to be great among his brothers that he must become the
younger and serve others. Human logic abhors this idea; everyone wants to be

teach those who want to be exalted that they must humble themselves, for whoever exalts themselves will be
humiliated.
The conquerors of the world are the brave, the strong, the warriors, those who impose
your will by force, but in divine logic, the meek shall inherit the earth, and they

And what to say about human logic that seeks through pleasures, lawful or unlawful,
finding happiness by doing what you can to avoid facing life in its disappointments and
challenges, and to eliminate sadness and tears. And God comes with His logic saying:
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
In human logic there is love, love between those who love each other. It teaches people to

do not seek revenge. Human logic even teaches to forgive those who come seeking forgiveness and
be ready not to make the mistake again.
Meanwhile, God, in His logic, teaches His followers to love not only friends but
also the enemies; to take the initiative to forgive the offender, and not just once,
if necessary, up to seventy times seven; to offer the other cheek instead of seeking revenge.
The world learns to accumulate wealth for itself. God teaches that it is better to give than to
receive; that true wealth should be accumulated in heaven; that the heart should not

eternal and more valuable, therefore we must be rich with God.
Contrary to human logic, God teaches that: the last will be the first; that He does not

Well, we can say that the wisdom of God is seen by man as foolish, it is
humanly illogical. This is why God hid it from the wise and learned of this world and
He revealed to the little ones, to the ignorant, uneducated, the John-nobodies. He chose the
things that are not meant to confuse those that are.
And while the Greeks, masters of logic, sought wisdom and knowledge

signs from heaven, to believe that Jesus was the incarnate God. The one in whom are

Thus, the wise and powerful did not recognize Him; instead, they crucified Him, casting Him out.

world, and they continue today in search of knowledge and signs. Now I understand why.
At that very hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said: I thank you, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, why have you hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and
you revealed to the little ones; yes, O Father, for such was your good pleasure.(Luke 10:21).
