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)

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 He decided to know nothing but that, for God’s transforming power accompanied that message.
