The Cross
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Berean Standard Bible · public domain
Paul opens the body of 1 Corinthians by inverting the world's measure of strength. To the cultured Corinthians chasing rhetoric and status, the public execution of a Galilean carpenter looks like the worst possible news. To those Christ is saving, it is the news that saves.
