For the message of the cross
The "message of the cross" refers to the core of the Christian gospel: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the Greco-Roman world, crucifixion was a shameful and brutal form of execution reserved for the worst criminals. The idea that salvation could come through such a means was countercultural and offensive to many. This message is central to Christian doctrine, emphasizing that through Christ's sacrifice, humanity can be reconciled to God. The cross symbolizes both the suffering and the victory of Jesus, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies such asIsaiah 53, which speaks of the suffering servant.

is foolishness to those who are perishing
To the unbelieving world, the concept of salvation through a crucified Messiah seemed absurd and irrational. The Greek word for "foolishness" is "moria," from which the English word "moron" is derived, indicating something perceived as nonsensical. Those "who are perishing" refers to individuals who reject the gospel and are on a path to spiritual destruction. This dichotomy between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God is a recurring theme in Paul's letters, highlighting the spiritual blindness of those who rely solely on human wisdom (1 Corinthians 2:14).

but to us who are being saved
The phrase "being saved" indicates an ongoing process of salvation. In Christian theology, salvation is often understood in three tenses: past (justification), present (sanctification), and future (glorification). Believers are justified by faith, are being sanctified through the work of the Holy Spirit, and will be glorified in eternity. This process underscores the transformative power of the gospel in the lives of believers, as they are continually conformed to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29).

it is the power of God
The "power of God" refers to the divine ability to bring about salvation through the cross. This power is not just a concept but is actively at work in the lives of believers, enabling them to overcome sin and live in righteousness. The cross, which appears as weakness to the world, is the ultimate demonstration of God's power and wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:24). This power is also evident in the resurrection of Jesus, which is the cornerstone of Christian faith and the assurance of eternal life for believers (1 Corinthians 15:14-17).

Teaching Points
The Paradox of the Cross

Identity in Christ
Believers find their identity and purpose in the power of the cross, which shapes their worldview and actions.

Evangelism and Witness

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from 1 Corinthians 1

(1 Corinthians 1:18) How can the message of the cross be convincing without clear historical or scientific proof of a literal resurrection?

What does "The Message of the Cross is Foolishness" mean?

What does "Foolishness of the Message" mean?

What does 'Foolishness of the Message' mean?(18)For the preaching.--In the original the contrast comes out more strongly between this and the previous statement, the same phrase being repeated, thus, "For theword of the cross," in contrast to "the wisdom of morewords" above. This is the word of real power.

Them that perish.--Better,those that are perishing, andus who are being saved, the former referring to those who have not received the gospel, and the latter to those who have (2Corinthians 2:15;2Corinthians 4:3).

The power of God.--The cross and all that it represents is the greatest display of the power of God (Acts 8:10).

Verses 18-25.- The nature of true Christian preaching.Verse 18. -For the preaching of the cross; rather,the word of the cross.To them that are perishing; rather,to the perishing;to all those who are now walking in the paths that lead to destruction (2 Corinthians 2:15). To them it was foolishness, because it requires spiritual discernment (1 Corinthians 2:14); and, on the other hand, human wisdom is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19).Foolishness. It shows the heroic character of the faith of St. Paul that he deliberately preached the doctrine of the cross because he felt that therein lay the conversion and salvation of the world, although he was well aware that he could preach no truth so certain at first to revolt the unregenerate hearts of his hearers. To the Jews "the cross" was the tree of shame and horror; and a crucified person was "accursed of God" (Deuteronomy 21:23;Galatians 3:13). To the Greeks the cross was the gibbet of a slave's infamy and a murderer's punishment. There was not a single association connected with it except those of shame and agony. The thought of "a crucified Messiah" seemed to the Jews a revolting folly; the worship of a crucified malefactor seemed to the Greeks "an execrable superstition" (Tacitus, 'Ann.,' 15:44; Pliny, 'Epp.' 10:97); yet so little did St. Paul seek for popularity or immediate success, that this was the very doctrine which he put in the forefront, even at a city so refined and so voluptuous as Corinth. And the result proved his inspired wisdom. That very cross became the recognized badge of Christianity, and when three centuries had elapsed it was woven in gold upon the banners and set in jewels on the diadems of the Roman empire. For had not Christ prophesied, And I,if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me"?Unto us which are being saved; who are on the way of salvation. The same present participle is used inLuke 13:23;Acts 2:47;2 Corinthians 2:15;Revelation 21:24. It is the power of God. Because the cross is at the heart of that gospel which is "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth" (Romans 1:16;Romans 8:3), though many were tempted to be ashamed of it. It could never be a carnal weapon of warfare, and yet was mighty for every purpose (2 Corinthians 10:4, 5).
