When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I didn’t come preaching God’s secrets to you like I was an expert in speech or wisdom. I had made up my mind not to think about anything while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and to preach him as crucified. I stood in front of you with weakness, fear, and a lot of shaking. My message and my preaching weren’t presented with convincing wise words but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power. I did this so that your faith might not depend on the wisdom of people but on the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5, CEB)
I made up my mind not to think of anything except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
This is key to Paul. Jesus was the Messiah and he was crucified and rose from the dead.
We don’t need great speech or wisdom or anything else. All we need is to know Christ and him crucified.
That is the power we need for life.
Loving People. Loving God.
