For if Paul should preach the necessity of circumcision, as it has been alleged, the offense of the cross of Christ should be removed. Do you believe that simply faith alone in the shed blood of Christ for your eternal salvation is "foolish"? It is just the gospel for you; it is made on purpose; it fits your condition; it is adapted to your case; — and yet you are offended with it! Now very briefly, I want to see what Paul meant when he said that the cross was an offense. And so back in the time of the death of Christ, there was Herod the King and it was an offense to him because the cross pointed to him and said, "Herod, you're living in immorality".
And I, brethren (ἐγὼ δέ ἀδελφοί); but in respect to myself, brethren. Then it's the blood of forgiveness. Then, next, how foolish it is to be offended at the cross, seeing that you cannot stop its progress! For some, it is offensive to even think they need to be saved from their sin. New King James Version. Another man will say, "I don't wish to persecute you; you can go to chapel as often as you like;" yet there is on his face the cold sneer, and on his lip the cruel jest or slander; every idle rumour is circulated, and everything that can be invented against the minister of the gospel and against Christian people, — all still showing that there is now, as there was in the days of the apostles, an "offence of the cross. And that's what it means when it talks about hell.
Κατήργηται (katērgētai). Even within the Church there are those who, stumbling over the Cross, emphasize only one aspect of God's love and try to lead men to Him without their facing up to the iniquity of their own hearts which separates them from God. We are not ashamed to bring ourselves wholly into the mould of Scripture, to take it just as it stands, to believe it, and to receive it; and if you are in that state, mark you, you are saved, for no man can say that he accepts the gospel wholly, loves it all, and receives it in his heart, and can yet be a stranger to it. Romans 9:33. as it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame. Since the Corinthian epistle deals with the death and resurrection of Christ, I am of the opinion that Paul included all that is comprehended in the gospel by the word "cross. " He loves us all equally and reveals to us in His word that the only way to be accepted into his family is by believing on the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. Some of you have trouble at work and you're troubled about it. Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. We'll be saved from what? The mother assured them that she would not come to see the child. Paul's letter to the Romans was similar: Romans 3:20-22 "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But the cross reveals the riches of God and the grace of God to a poor lost world. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5). In v11, Paul asks the question that if he is still preaching circumcision, why is he still being persecuted? Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees. " 1 Corinthians 1:18, 23 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…. But we are prone to overlook the words should not perish which are a part of that marvelous declaration.
Young couples need to come. Ye who despise and oppose the gospel; what can ye do? Jesus did not send Paul to do anything but preach the gospel, which is the message of the cross. When she approached, I asked her why she was wearing such a large cross. If the person had anything to say against the other, why could he not say it right out, and not leave us in the dark to surmise all manner of iniquities? Galatians 5:11 NASB. As well might the drowning man be offended with the rope which is cast to him, and which is the only means of his escape; as well might the dying patient be offended with the cup of medicine which is put to his lips, and which alone can save his body from death; as well might the man whose house is burning be offended with the fireman who roughly puts the fire-escape against his window, — as that thou shouldst be offended with Christ. Groups, techniques, study classes, and discussions have eternal relevance only as they cut through the objections, reservations, and evasions of human pride and confront the sinner with his lost condition out of Christ. I have known men stand where God's earthquakes were shaking the ground under their feet, and the thunder and lightning were playing above their heads; yet they still held fast their self-righteousness. As it says in 1 Corinthians 7:18-19 "Was anyone called while circumcised? New Living Translation. As well might a gnat think to quench the sun.
I daresay they would not wonder if such a thing were to happen; but I should wonder if my people, as a whole, did live in sin, and I bless God that I have no cause to wonder about that matter, for a holier people you will not find this side heaven than those who receive into their hearts the doctrine of Christ's imputed righteousness. 1 Corinthians 1:18). Every person Jesus called in the New Testament, he called publicly. Since the beginning, people want to come to God on their terms and not on God's terms. Paul could have avoided persecution if he preached that Christ death on a cross was only an example to us of humility and submission, but he preached righteousness by the cross alone through faith and because of this they were offended. Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story. Galatians 5:11 Catholic Bible. Drink the ocean, if thou canst; more likely, thou wilt sink in it, and so it will drink thee.

Those expecting to hear "well done thou good and faithful servant" will be shocked when they instead hear "I never knew you. One piece of wood as an upright and another acting as a crossbar on which the arms of Jesus were stretched is the artist's conception.

During the reign of Henry VIII of England it was estimated that there were fourteen carloads of splinters removed from the cathedrals of London, all purported to have come from the original cross. But identification can become a handicap where unconsciously or otherwise the prospect is won to faith in another individual and not in the living Christ.

This I will say of them, that grace hath wrought in them good fruits; that they do walk in the fear of the Lord, in love to one another, and in the practice of uprightness and godliness. He received Christ into his heart right there at the last minute on that cross. Offended with him whose blood alone can wash thee white, and give thee a place with him in glory everlasting? God wants our hearts; He wants direct fellowship and a personal relationship with us though Jesus Christ. No man cometh to the Father, but by me". It is a hard thing to get that away from men.
