When Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he recognized that Christ crucified would be “a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.” The cross, Alistair Begg reminds us, shows unbelievers the gravity of their sin, even as it admonishes believers to cling to the love of Christ that they may be restrained from disobedience. It is beneath the cross of Christ alone that believers must commit to taking their stand.
1And I, when I came to you, brothers,1 xdid not come proclaiming to you ythe testimony2 of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except zJesus Christ and him crucified. 3And aI was with you bin weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of cthe Spirit and of power, 5so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men3 but din the power of God.
