Saving God -
The cross proclaims Your power.
By the world’s standards, this message is foolishness. Power in the cross? Power in weakness? Power in death?
This message of the cross destroys and makes foolish our worldly wisdom and discernment.
Turn us toward Christ crucified, and enable us to see Your wisdom and power in the cross. Remind us that Your foolishness is wiser than our wisdom and that Your weakness is stronger than our strength.
Holding the cross’ radical power and wisdom ever before us, we pray.
Amen.
