18 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. 19 For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” 1 Corinthians 1:18-19
As we enter this season remembering what Christ did on the cross for us, I often sit and think about people who don't see the death of Christ and resurrection as the pathway for us to be saved. The arguments people make against Christ's free gift to us can sometimes be astounding, and others who deny that what happened on the cross means something is completely unfathomable. I think it comes down to people thinking they have the knowledge and understanding of God to get by, and those are the same people that say I am a good person. We all have to remember that none of us are good, and the only way to achieve the reward that God offers is by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and realize His sacrifice for us. As you enter this weekend, I urge all to be reminded how our Lord Jesus Christ impacted our ability to see our Father in Heaven again.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
