Conversing With A Corpse?

1 Corinthians 2:14"The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
     Dear Lord, I remember a very dear older saint, Mrs Dudley, who taught our ladies Bible study on Tuesday mornings at the Bible Baptist Church of Sodus NY that met in an old mill.  I was a relatively new Christian and I cannot remember what we were studying at the time, but remember asking her why the people I was trying to share Christ with didn't get the simplicity and graveness of the salvation message.
      She asked us all if we had ever been to a funeral where there was an open casket.  I thought that was a weird question given the question I had just posed to her.  She went on to ask if any of us had ever approached the corpse and had tried to have a conversation with them.  To be honest, Lord, I thought the lady had lost it.  Then she asked if we had tried, did the corpse answer us.  By this time I was sure she had lost it because not only was she being ridiculous, but also she was not addressing the question I had asked!
      Then she explained that we cannot expect the unsaved to understand spiritual things because they do not have the Spirit.   We are dead spiritually until God makes us alive.  "When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ." Colossians 2:13.  I then thought; WOW!  This lady has not lost anything, but has found a great truth found right here in 1 Corinthians 2:14, "he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
      Lord, when I try to share truths from Your Word with an unbeliever and am misunderstood, ridiculed,or ostracized it is because they CANNOT understand and my sharing is in vain.  I am trying to have a conversation with a spiritual corpse.  This is why I must await the Spirit's leading before I approach someone.  He has to lift the blindness from their eyes, deafness from their ears, and the dullness of their mind before they can even begin to understand spiritual things.
      Thank You, Lord, for having Your Spirit lift those from me 37 years ago so I could truly understand what was being shared with me and for lifting my dullness of understanding Your truths ever since.  I praise You for my salvation!  May I be very sensitive to the Spirit's leading.
