Introduction: The God of Foolishness

When we think of famous people, we often associate their fame with power, influence, or great wealth. Whether it's a politician, a celebrity, or a sports star, they possess something that our society admires and worships. However, the Bible tells us that the Good News of Jesus Christ is often considered foolishness by many.

The Foolishness of Jesus

Both Jews and Greeks had difficulty accepting the Gospel message because it didn't align with their expectations. The Jews anticipated a triumphant Messiah who would establish a powerful kingdom, while the Greeks couldn't comprehend the idea of bodily resurrection. Jesus, as a humble servant who avoided worldly power, seemed like a foolish choice for a saviour.

The Power in God's Foolishness

Although the world may view Jesus' message as foolishness, there is tremendous power in it. Jesus' death on the cross was not the end; he conquered death through his resurrection. This demonstrates his power over death and destruction. By trusting in his "foolishness," we can receive salvation and eternal life.

Embracing God's "Foolishness"

Unlike the pursuit of power, influence, or wealth, Jesus offers entry into his Kingdom to those who approach him in humility and faith. Our good deeds cannot earn his salvation. It is through accepting his "foolishness" that we find true power and everlasting life.

Conclusion

Remember, the world may consider Jesus' message foolish, but in reality, it is the source of true power and eternal life. Let us humbly embrace this "foolishness" and discover the transformative impact it can have in our lives.
