Without eloquent wisdom
For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
Wisdom and Power/Foolishness and weakness
Wisdom and Power/Foolishness and weakness
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Foolishness of God
Foolishness of God
What does the death of an obscure zealot 2,000 years ago have to do with this?? How can you possibly tell me that reality changes this one?
You don’t have to live a good life or accomplish great things. You don’t have to go to church or live with secularized morality. Its free, and its not a choice its a gift.
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Weakness of God
Weakness of God
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
