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

1 Corinthians 1:18

A crucified God? A King who gives up power for the sake of love? Salvation from sin and a sinful nature? The message of the cross is foolishness to a world drunk on power, pleasure and false hopes.

But to us who are being saved, the message of the cross is the power of God for our salvation. Now, what does that mean exactly? Well, I think Paul is saying is that, for those who believe, the message of the cross is the key to salvation.

We trust in the message of the cross, because the message tells the truth of the cross, as having the power for us to be saved. And that’s because God has promised to save those who trust in the good news about His Son.

Questions/Thoughts/Tips:

• Say the passage out loud 10 times in a row.
• Say it once before you go to sleep.
• Say it once more when you wake up.

Pray: Praise the Father that He has made a way for sinners to be saved. Give thanks for Jesus Christ who died on the cross for the love of sinners. Ask God for His Holy Spirit to help you and others keep trusting in the word of the cross.
