Message of the cross

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. As the Scriptures say, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent.” (1 Corinthians 1.18-19 NLT)

The message of the cross is universal and, at the same time, unique for each of us. To some, it is "foolishness". To others, it is the "power of God".

The call of the cross is simple and, at the same time, beyond "the wisdom of the wise" and "the intelligence of the intelligent". It is very personal.

He knows us better than we know ourselves. He calls each of us to a place or role that is suited for us. Let us trust him and tune our ears and hearts toward his call.

Let us not rely on our "wisdom" and "intelligence". Let us rely on his call.
