AS LONG AS YOU ARE LIVING FOR YOU, ALL THAT THE CROSS HAS TO OFFER WILL NEVER BE YOURS. #repost @godcare.s “But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.”- 1Cor.2:14 #livingforjesus #livingforchrist When the Apostle Paul went to the great and intellectual Grecian city of Corinth, he said, “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1Cor.2:2). When Paul describes what his message was, he said, “We preach Christ crucified” (1Cor.1:23). #drowningwithoutjesus #jesusisbetter To the people of Corinth the preaching of the cross was foolishness, nonsense. But Paul said, “The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men” (1Cor.1:25). In that great intellectual center, the cross of Christ was a stumbling block to the children of Israel, and to the Gentiles it was sheer idiocy. #foolishchristians #dumbchristians The Gospel of Christ and Him crucified is still foolishness to millions who are perishing all over the world today. How few people recognize that the answer to the world’s problems can be found at the foot of the cross. #messageofthecross #livingforgod As we stand at the cross today and gaze on a confused and frustrated world, God asks the question, “Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe” (1Cor.1:20-21). #thefootofthecross #focusonthecross The people of Corinth were blind to Christ crucified and what it meant. To them, His death in this manner was foolishness. #focusonjesus #jesuscrucified The idea of a world being saved by Christ crucified was indeed foolishness to those who were proud and boastful and who thought the wisdom of the world was vested in them. For those of us who in simple faith know Christ crucified, the cross is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
