St. Paul and the Power of the Cross

'The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God.' - St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 1:18 St. Paul returned to the theme of the Cross over and over again as he taught Christians about salvation and exhorted them to worship.
