The foolishness of the Cross
Life is a mystery.
There are some things we will never figure out.
The Cross is one of those mysteries.
For Jews the Cross is a stumbling block,
Because they look not for a Crucified Messiah,
But for one that will restore the glory and power of Israel.
For the Pagans the Cross is foolishness,
Because suffering does not bring life.
But for us who believe
The Cross is the Wisdom of God which puts the foolishness of Man to shame,
And the Cross shows that the weakness of God is stronger than Men.
In other words, God uses the cross to show the world that it is not as smart or as strong as it think it is.
