Message of the Cross
1 Corinthians
To those who are perishing the preaching of the cross is foolishness.
To those who are being saved the cross is the power of God.
God made the wisdom of the world foolishness.
1 Corinthians 1:20-
NO wise man, no scholar, no philosopher of this age is wise.
Man’s wisdom does not point man to God.
So God uses the foolishness to present His salvation.
How do people miss the simplicity of the Gospel?
1 Corinthians 1:22-
The Jews want “miraculous signs.”
The Greeks look for “wisdom.”
But Christ is:
A stumbling block to the Jews.
And foolishness to the Gentiles.
To those God has called
Christ is the power of God.
Christ is the wisdom of God.
God’s foolishness is wiser than man’s wisdom.
God’s weakness is stronger than man’s strength!
It’s all about God!
1 Corinthians 1:26-
What were you when you were called?
What were you when you were called?
Most of us were not wise (by human standards).
Most of us were not influential.
Most of us were not noble by birth.
1 Corinthians 1:27-
God chose the foolish things to shame the wise.
God chose the weak things to shame the strong.
God chose the lowly things—despised things—to discount things
All of this is so no one can boast.
1 Corinthians
1 Corinthians 1:30
It really is all about God.
Jesus is our wisdom.
Jesus is our righteousness.
Jesus is our holiness.
And Jesus is our redemption.
SO WHAT?
So What Does This Mean To Us?
It’s all about God!
The world around us believes they are wise.
They believe they are strong.
But compared to God the are foolish and weak!
Yet, we end up chasing after the wisdom and strength of this world.
No if we are going to boast—we need to boast in the Lord!
And if we boast in the Lord then we must serve the Lord.
That’s why God commands us to:
Love the Lord
Love the Lord your God with the totality of your being!
