autem praedicamus Christum crucifixum – which means “we preach Christ crucified”. Christ is the Power of God & the Wisdom of God and Paul preached in the demonstration of the Spirit & of power. Why did he do this? So that the faith of the Corinthians might rest in the power of God – (which is Christ). All of God’s promises to us are Yes & Amen in Christ. We have nothing & we are nothing apart from Jesus. Jesus said, “without me you can do nothing.” How quickly we forget this & work in our own strength & wisdom. Christ is our power & wisdom and he is this because of his death. Let us proclaim the power & wisdom of the Cross and live in the light of it.
