May 17, 2026 "We are So Smart That We Miss the Cross" (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)

 

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 

 

We live in an age of information and powerful tools to search and calculate. We can calculate and find the best deals before we make a purchase or decision. We sometimes do this with the word of God. We are persuaded by the wrong influences when hearing the word. 

 

When Paul was in Corinth, he abandoned human wisdom, knowledge and eloquence while preaching the gospel. Paul knew that impressive sermons, strong logic and dramatic performances can blind us to the cross. 

 

We have to be careful when we hear the word. We look towards the human wisdom that makes more sense. We look to strategies that are stronger than what the Word says. We ignore the power of the cross while we seek out worldly ways and wisdom to succeed.  

 

We often seek worldly wisdom to make ourselves look more important, stronger, more intelligent and more independent. The wisdom of the cross makes Jesus look more important.  

 

When the cross is removed, faith becomes something different. Love without the cross, it is something different. Faith without the cross becomes self-sufficient. Sacrifice without the cross is just a personal investment. With the cross, faith becomes love, love becomes sacrifice and sacrifice becomes joy. 

 

Without the cross, we seek more exciting sermons, bigger miracles, deeper wisdom and anything that will stimulate our appetite for the Gospel. The power of the cross is enough and reminds us of our first love. The cross might look weak and repulsive, but it has the power to bring us to God and transform our lives. 

 

No one wants to look weak or be weak and yet, the way if the cross is to admit our dependence and bring our weakness to the Lord. We can lay down all our failures, all our weaknesses, all our faults.  

 

The disciples abandoned Jesus, they did not understand Jesus' words and they even denied Jesus. Yet, Jesus forgave them and restored them. This was the power of the cross. 

 

Looking at our faults and weakness can depress our minds and stop us from trying. We become ashamed and overwhelmed confronting the truth. 

 

By acknowledging our weakness, the cross can restore us and bring us to the place we need to be.

In The Garden (I Come To The Garden Alone)

In The Garden

Verse 1

I come to the garden alone

While the dew is still on the roses

And the voice I hear falling on my ear

The Son of God discloses

Chorus

And He walks with me

And He talks with me

And He tells me

I am His own

And the joy we share

As we tarry there

None other

Has ever known

Verse 2

He speaks and the sound of His voice

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing

Verse 3

I'd stay in the garden with Him

Tho' the night around me be falling

But He bids me go thro' the voice of woe

His voice to me is calling

 

저 장미꽃 위에 이슬 (찬송가) 새 442

1. 저 장미꽃 위에 이슬

아직 맺혀있는 그때에

귀에 은은히 소리 들리니

주 음성 분명하다

주님 나와 동행을 하면서

나를 친구 삼으셨네

우리 서로 받은 그 기쁨은

알 사람이 없도다

2. 그 청아한 주의 음성

우는 새도 잠잠케 한다

내게 들리던 주의 음성이

늘 귀에 쟁쟁하다

주님 나와 동행을 하면서

나를 친구 삼으셨네

우리 서로 받은 그 기쁨은

알 사람이 없도다

3. 밤 깊도록 동산 안에

주와 함께 있으려 하나

괴론 세상에 할 일 많아서

날 가라 명하신다

주님 나와 동행을 하면서

나를 친구 삼으셨네

우리 서로 받은 그 기쁨은

알 사람이 없도다
