1 Corinthians 1:18
The preaching of the cross. The gospel of a Crucified Savior.
Unto them that perish. Those who are unregenerate.
Foolishness. The Greek philosopher and the Jewish scribe scoffed
at the thought of a Savior who had been crucified. They held that his
crucifixion proved that he was not divine.
Unto us who are saved. There are two sections of mankind--the
unsaved and the saved. To the first, the cross is folly; to the second,
the gospel of the Crucified One comes as the "power of God". See
Romans 1:16. To the unsaved, the cross is a pillar of cloud; to the
saved, a pillar of light.
