Lesson 8 Hearing the Message of the Cross
Questions 4 and 5
Jesus Christ and Him Crucified
Let’s look at one more passage:
“And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.”
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 NIV
Question 4. According to 1 Corinthians 2:2 NIV, to what was Paul’s message limited?

Question 5. According to 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 NIV, with what was Paul’s message accompanied?
Log in / create an account to enroll or continue where you left off.
Again, we see that Paul knew where the Spirit's power was; it was in the message of "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." That's why Paul decided to "know nothing" but the gospel (1 Corinthians 2:2), for God's transforming power and the Holy Spirit accompanied that message.
