Christ the Power and Wisdom of God – 1 Corinthians 1:18–31

Sermon by William BurrowsThe message of the cross has always seemed foolish to the world. Yet what appears to be weakness to them is, in reality, the very power and wisdom of God.The Apostle Paul exhorts us to behold Christ as our wisdom from God, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. The message of the cross exposes the emptiness of human wisdom and offers what we could never provide for ourselves: forgiveness, holiness, and the sure hope of final redemption. From beginning to end, our salvation rests not in what we have done, but in Christ alone. The only fitting response to such grace is to boast, not in ourselves, but in the Lord.—Vineland Road is a resource ministry of the Christian Reformed Church of St. Joseph, Michigan.
