The "Foolishness" of God
God offers only one method of salvation—yet from the time that Paul preached in Corinth till the present, perishing people have seen Jesus’ death as foolish and weak. The difficulty in making sense of a crucified Savior might tempt preachers to minimize the actual Gospel and pacify their listeners with less crucial, or less biblical, messages. God’s plan for salvation, however, supersedes all human wisdom, Alistair Begg reminds us. The only way for mankind to be reconciled to God is to accept the work of Jesus on our behalf.
