1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-2).
Paul’s testimony concerning Christ to the Corinthians was not flashy or clever. Paul taught the simple truth of the Gospel, that Christ was crucified in order to save people. While we can have all kinds of liturgies, services, books of order, doctrinal statements, and theological debates, the simple truth of the Gospel is Christ crucified; the just paying the penalty for the unjust. Our response then should be one of worship and praise for all that God has done.
