The crucifixion of Christ and His bodily resurrection is objective truth and preached to all, including civil authorities. God’s wisdom was “predestined before the ages.” Those who know Christ through the gospel (all believers ) are destined to glory is assured by the promises of God.

Wisdom From Ages Past to Glory: 1 Corinthians 2:7

The “wisdom of this age” is foolishness because it rejects God’s revealed wisdom which is “Christ crucified.” The evil rulers of this age are human rulers and the spiritual powers of darkness which are in the heavenly places. They are “coming to nothing” because they face God’s judgment.

Wisdom of This Age Is Doomed: 1 Corinthians 2:6

God Protects His Son: Matthew 2:13-15

Who is our King? Matthew 2:1-12

God’s power does not depend on the rhetorical cleverness of the preacher but the clarity of the gospel message

God’s Power Through His Means: 1 Corinthians 2:3-5

Nevertheless Paul resolved to focus on “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” Sadly, many today are concerned about other matters and refuse to clearly proclaim Christ.

Not Rhetoric But Christ Crucified: 1 Corinthians 2:1-2

Jesus alone fits all of the data concerning what was revealed about the Immanuel child in the book of Isaiah. It was necessary for the Son of God to become flesh through the virgin birth in order that we might have the forgiveness of sins.

The Role of Christ’s Virgin Birth in Our Salvation: Matthew 1:21-25

Joseph’s Role in Christ’s Birth: Matthew 1:18-21

Our Boast Must Only Be in God: 1 Corinthians 1:30-31

No Boasting Before God: 1 Corinthians 1:27-29

Messiah’s Lineage Matters, Ours Doesn’t: Matthew 1:1-17

Matthew provides a majestic portrait of Messiah and reveals the Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in Christ’s person and work.

The Gospel of Matthew

Paul makes it clear that God made dead sinners alive through the gospel and thus reveals His wisdom and power. Those redeemed by God’s grace are no longer who they were in the eyes of the lost world.

God Does Things His Way: 1 Corinthians 1:25-26

conversion is not man getting God to do things how fallen humans want, but God converting sinners through clear and forthright gospel preaching, there is no reason to do surveys of sinners to find out what they want to hear.
