Christ the Power of God, and the Wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24)

2023-06-15

Two different cultures in the ancient world sought two different things. “For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom” (1 Corinthians 1:22). However, true power and true wisdom are found in Jesus Christ.

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which 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 Corinthians 1:23-25)

How perfectly is this put. According to the world, we are weak and foolish, but in Christ, we have His power and wisdom.
