1 Corinthians 1.18-31: What does 'the Message of the Cross' mean to you?

As the Greeks love philosophy and eloquent speech it is understandable why some in the church fixated on God’s messengers rather than the message itself. Paul reminds them that the Cross is the centre of the faith. The message of the Cross is neither smart nor sophisticated. It is a place of execution, humiliation and suffering. However to those who hear it and believe, the Cross speaks of forgiveness, wisdom and freedom. Paul says that his message was Christ Crucified - that’s like saying a dead lifeguard- a contradiction in terms. Nevertheless at Jesus’ weakness moment, He achieved what philosophy can’t lead to, that is forgiveness and peace with God. Tell me friend, what does the Cross mean to you? Christian, it’s time to get back to the Cross. We should never be far away from our crucified Saviour. *NB- There were technical difficulties during the recording resulting in lower audio quality than usual. Thank you for your understanding.*
