Christ Crucified
“But we preach
Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ, 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.” 1 Cor. 1:23-25
The world will declare things about us that are contrary
to God’s word. The Bible tells us that
is foolishness, as 1 Corinthians 3:19 indicates: “The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.” Without spiritual weapons, we would fail
in the battle against the thoughts of the flesh. Carnal weapons will lose every time in
battling carnal thinking. The two will
end up on the same side! We require the
armor given to us by God and activated by the Holy Spirit to win the war of
false thinking and worldly labels.
Paul writes in 1 Corinthians that 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.” This is a
powerful truth for us to get into our spirits.
We may be mocked or ridiculed for our faith – yet it is the very power
of God at work through the cross that saves us!
The world may call you trapped. Christ crucified calls you set free. The world may label you homeless. Christ crucified is preparing for you a
mansion with many rooms. The world may
consider you disabled. Christ crucified
claims you are healed by His stripes.
The world may insist you are incomplete and insufficient. Christ crucified declares you are complete in
Him and His grace is sufficient for you.
Amen!
