The Cross: God's Power, Human Foolishness

1 Corinthians 1:18-25

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, I will bring the discernment of the discerning to nothing.”

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the Torah scholar of this world? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the proclaiming to save those who believe.

For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom,

but we proclaim Messiah crucified; a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks,

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Messiah is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
