0855. THE POWER OF THE CROSS.

THE POWER OF THE CROSS.

1Co_1:18.

Note the place the Cross had in Paul’s preaching (1Co_1:17).

I. What is Meant by the Cross? The atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ.

II. What is Meant by the Preaching of the Cross? Holding up Christ’s death as the Divine remedy for the sins and souls of men. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness.

III. What are the Effects of a Preached Cross?

1. "Foolishness" to them that believe not.

2. "Power of God" to them that believe. Power to save and satisfy.
