1 Corinthians 1:22-24

1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
 
We start here seeing that the Jews were always demanding, through all four of the gospels, to see a sign. Paul realized that the Greeks were looking for wisdom when he was witnessing to them and they analyzed every new thing that came along. Christ being crucified was a stumbling block to the Jews because they were looking for a mighty warrior as a savior. The Greeks had a problem with Christ being crucified because it did not fit any theories they could up with for a savior. But to all that are called, the message of the cross, which seems so pointless and irrelevant to man’s proud, natural mind, exhibits God’s greatest power and greatest wisdom. Again we can see here that there is only one way to be saved and that is through belief in Jesus Christ. It does not matter whether you are a Jew or any other nationality it is Jesus who saves. Please attend a church today that will teach you true word of God and be ready to receive the blessings he has for you and accept them.
