"Christ the Measure of All Things" (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)

Christ the measure of All Things

1 Corinthians 2:1-5

1 Corinthians 2:1-5New International Version (NIV)
1 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 
2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 
3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 
4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 
5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.


1. The Word of God is not carried in the wisdom of men: vs. 1
2. Christ is the measure of all things: vs. 2
3. The Word of God is the demonstration of the Spirit and of power: vs. 3-4
4. It is the will of God that our faith rest in His power: vs. 5 


Colossians 3:11 New International Version (NIV)
11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
