Since God in His wisdom saw to it that the world would never find Him through human wisdom,He has used our foolish preaching to save all who believe.
God's way seems foolish to the jews because they want a sign from heaven to prove it is true.And it is foolisi to the Greeks because they believe only what agrees with their own wisdom.
So when we preach that christ was crusified,the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it's all nonsense.
But to those called bx God to salvation,both Jews and Gentiles,Christ is the mighty power of God and the wonderful wisdom of God.
-1 Corinthians 1:21-24.
The foolishness of the message
The American evangelist Torrey was just leaving the hall after giving an address on the Bible,when a person unknown to him approached him and said,"I admire your conviction and your sincerity,but what you have said is foolishness,like the entire gospel."
Torrey took his Bible and said,"You are quite right.That's exactly what God says in His Word."-"You are joking.The Bible can't possibly say that the gospel is foolishness," the stranger retorted. - "But it's true,all the same," Torrey continued. "Listen! 'The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,but to us who are being saved it is the power of God' - 1 Corinthians 1:18.There you can see that the Word of God is a test,a touchstone at which the ways of two kinds of people seperate: those who are saved and those who are lost."
Torrey closed his Bible and was about to go,but the man held him back.He wanted to know more.The Word of God had touched a sore point: He recognised that he was one of those who would be lost.Soon afterwards he turned to Jesus,the Lord and Saviour,to obtain salvation.Then he could say,"Christ Jesus,who became for us wisdom from God,and righteousness and sanctification and redempion" -1 Corinthians 1:30.
