1 Coríntios 1

Ryle - As long as the world stands the cross will seem foolishness to natural man....(but) Take away the cross of Christ from the Bible and it is a dark book. Brian Bill - An eminent professor of theology said to his students in his seminary class, “Gentlemen, I ask you to remember that you are called upon to know something of the foolishness of preaching, not the preaching of foolishness.” But he’s wrong. The word of the cross is foolishness...to those who are perishing. It stands in contradiction to all the philosophy, education, & knowledge of this world, for the preaching of the cross puts the sentence of death upon them all. Christianity neither flatters human beings nor presents God in an easily palatable form. Who would have ever expect or invent: a crucified Messiah & a crucified self as the way to everlasting life? The story does sound crazy/foolish. It does! (be honest haven’t you ever heard yourself & thought...this IS weird!) (Sophia Meets Jesus) Leon
