I Corinthians 1:13-4:21 (Part 7), [November 4, 2018, Sunday AM]
The solutions to dissension (disunity)—1:13-4:21
Unity is achieved by considering the person and work of Christ—1:13-17
• There is only one Christ, cross & baptism
Unity is achieved by considering the true nature of the Gospel—1:18-25
Two evaluations of the cross
• Foolishness—those that are perishing
• Power of God—those that are being saved
The attitude of the unbeliever
• His attitude was prophesied in Scripture—v.
19
• His attitude is proved by experience—v.
20
• His attitude expressed—vv.
21-23
*The message of the cross: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died a death wherein the guilt and penalty of man’s sin was placed on Him, making it possible for salvation to be extended to all who believe
The work of Christ—“crucified”—v. 23
• The nature of His death—He did not die like any other
• The completeness of His death—perfect tense—completed action
• The effectiveness of His death—(perfect tense)—abiding results
The response to the message of the cross—v.
23b (critique of the unbeliever)—it is offensive
• Stumblingblock—religious pride
• Foolishness—intellectual pride
Why is the cross offensive?
• The cross underscores the gravity of man’s problem (man’s sin)
• The cross underscores that man can do nothing to save himself (man’s helplessness)
• The cross leaves no room for human pride (man’s pride)
“Foolish” and “weak”—v.
25
There is no foolishness or weakness in God’s character—the idea involved is . . .
• The foolish ACT of God—in man’s assessment—(from man’s perspective this is the cross)
• The weak ACT of God—in man’s assessment
The argument for unity—you either experience the cross as . . .
• Power—or . . .
• Perishing
• Only one saving message—that argues strongly for unity
Unity is achieved by a correct view of ourselves—1:26-31
• Who is NOT a member of the church—v.
26
o Noble
o Wise
o Mighty
o God deals with us on the basis of His Son
1) Not merits
2) Not demerits
• Who DOES make up the membership of the church—vv.
27-28
o God planned it this way
o Why?—in order to put to shame wise and mighty
