1 Corinthians 1:18
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
As I read this verse, I get so sad for the lost. They really don't what all they're missing out on. This also reminds me to not get angry or upset when I'm trying to witness or share the Gospel of Christ and others aren't receiving it. If their hearts aren't ready, they will not understand the truth and realness of God. They will not believe the message of the cross. It's up to God's children to pray for the lost, that they're hearts may be softened. They are just not ready or equipped to understand what the message of the cross means. But it is God's will that everyone comes to a knowledge of Christ.
As a believer, the message of the cross is so empowering to me. It's strengthens my love for God and motivates me to keep living right. It shows me that when I am weak, Christ is strong. When I can't do it, He CAN. When we know the power of God and that his spirit lives within us, we will understand all the more the power we have in ourselves because of Christ Jesus.
