1 Corinthians 06 The Contrast of the Cross and Human Wisdom 1:18-31

SBC Family,

The first problem at Corinth was party divisions, but they were rooted in a much deeper problem; their failure to appreciate the word of the cross and consequent exaltation of human wisdom displayed by clever speech. Someone can be a great orator but the content has absolutely no value before God. In fact, God will destroy it. It is nothing. God uses a very distasteful message to bring people to Himself. It is this message that has His power. For some reason this message appealed to you and me, and now it should be of greatest importance. There are not many of us who were called who were members of Mensa, not many who were Senators or Congressman, not many who are millionaires, but this is in step with God's doings so that He gets all the glory and all our boasting is in Him.

I will see you tonight because this same message of the power of the gospel is not just so we get saved from the penalty of sin and go to heaven, but also to continue to be saved from the power of sin and overcome difficulties by enjoying rest.

See the attachment.

Grace to you,
Jeremy
