Knox speaks on the foolishness of the Cross from 1 Corinthians 1:18. Paul was sent as an Apostle to proclaim that God’s promised Messiah and King was crucified. To both Jews and Gentiles, this message seemed like folly, yet Paul refused the temptation to water down or alter the gospel. He preached it plainly and without modification. The message of the Cross confronts the realities of sin, death, judgment, and salvation, not as abstract theories but as ultimate truths. Paul reminds the Corinthians of the gospel they first received: Christ died, was buried, and rose again. Through the Cross, confirmed by the Resurrection, Jesus is revealed as Lord. The gospel is the power of God to save and transform lives, a power unmatched by any other belief system. Through the gospel, the believer experiences a future and present experience of the blessing of salvation. Believers today must clearly proclaim the gospel for others to hear the news clearly.
