People of the Cross

1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5
In 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5, Paul reminds the church at Corinth, which was living in a culture of hero-worship of the famous, influential, and powerful, that we are called to be people of the cross. The cross of Christ reveals God’s wisdom, which is salvation through Christ’s suffering and death, and releases the power of God to those who are called to follow in the way of the cross, which has the power to transform lives and enable us to live in the realm of God’s everlasting kingdom.

The glory of the incarnation is the miracle of God becoming a man, who was crucified and risen to be our Savior. We receive his grace by receiving Christ as Lord and Savior, who gives us grace for life now and forevermore in Glory.
