But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to
the Jews and foolishness to the Greeks.
1 Corinthians 1:23, Modern English Version (MEV)
This verse gets to the heart of the matter. It's not about rational arguments, or well-reasoned debates. It's not about how relevant our words are. It's not about how well our three point sermon has been written. The question is whether or not we are preaching Christ crucified. We are not out to impress people with how intelligent, or how cool, or hip, or whatever we are. We are out to preach the crucified Christ, nothing more, nothing less. Until a person receives the crucified Christ, nothing we say, nothing we do, matter one tiny bit.
