Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom
18For 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. 19For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”19 Isaiah 29:14
20Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

The Foolishness of God

Our Foolishness
- The message of the cross isn't something we find immediately attractive or useful. 1 Corinthians 1:18
- We all have a sense of right and wrong – but we fail to be consistent even with our own personal codes. 1 Corinthians 1:19-20
Our Wisdom
- People look for answers in different ways. Matthew 12:39-40; Mark 8:11; John 6:30
- What can a guy dying on a cross teach us about life? 1 Corinthians 1:23
God's Wisdom
- Coming to understand God's wisdom is something that happens to us. 1 Corinthians 1:24
- God loves us. 1 Corinthians 1:21
God's Foolishness
- Receive God's grace. 1 Corinthians 1:25

Be a bold fool. 1 Corinthians 1:30-31
