The Foolishness of God: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
For 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.
Two audiences. Two responses.
The message of the cross. Ho logos tou staurou. The word about the cross. The proclamation of a crucified Messiah.
Foolishness. Moria. Absurdity. Idiocy. To those who are perishing—the ones on the road to destruction—the cross was laughable. A crucified savior? A god who died? Nonsense.
