The Divinity of the Gospel is Demonstrated
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God.


I. IN THEM THAT PERISH — they deem it foolish — yet it confounds their wisdom — succeeds where it has failed.

II. IN THEM THAT ARE SAVED — because it conquers their opposition — and becomes in them the power of God and the wisdom of God.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
