Offensiveness of the Gospel to Human Pride
1 Corinthians 1:22-24
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:…


1. It comes in the form of preaching, and offers its blessings only to faith.

2. It describes the crucified Jesus as the power and wisdom of God.

3. It pronounces all this, which seems to men to be folly and weakness, to be wiser and stronger than all the wisdom and power of the world.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
