"THE MESSAGE of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! We who are being saved know it is the very power of God!"
Have you ever wondered why so many people ridicule Jesus Christ? Have you ever wondered why so many people think that there is no God or that God is dead? There are none so blind as those who will not see, they just do not get THE MESSAGE! The story of the cross is just so much foolishness to those who are lost in sin and headed for death and destruction. They have believed the lies of the devil, who they also do not believe in. Even though they are on their way to Hell, they mock God, His Power, and the cross He died on to save them. More importantly, they are dead at this very moment and they do not even know it. Unless they get THE MESSAGE they will never be born again and have eternal life.
Any rational thinking person who looks up into the night sky and views the universe knows in their heart that there is a God and He is all powerful and mighty. Only a fool says in his heart there is no God! Those of us who have heard THE MESSAGE and been saved see things quite differently. Our salvation is the very manifestation of the power of God. He saved us from death and gave us eternal life. JESUS CHRIST SAVES, THAT IS THE MESSAGE. The beginning of wisdom is the fear and knowledge of God. If you do not know God you are not wise, in fact you are a fool.
God destroys the wisdom of the "so called" wise, and He brings to nothing the understanding of the person that He does not know. God baffles and renders useless the philosophies and cleverness of the fool! God destroys the so called discernment of those who profess knowledge but they do not even know God, and they have not heard THE MESSAGE! Not only does God frustrate the fool, he brings them to nothing. The end result of not hearing and believing God is that they will be separated from Him for eternity and they will suffer the second death and damnation in Hell. Because of their rejection of God and disrespect and unbelief they have condemned them selves. God allows them to set themselves aside. How about you, are you still a fool that refuses to believe God? When will you ever get THE MESSAGE?
