The preaching of the cross: the power of God or God's failure?
ROME REPORTS
"I am going to tell you something private. In my pocket I always carry
two things: a rosary to pray something which seems odd, this is here is
the history of God’s failure, it’s the way of the cross, a small way of
the cross, as Jesus suffered and when they condemned him right up to
where he was buried with these two things I do the best I can. And
thanks to these two things, I never lose hope.”
Note: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of
them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the
dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward
they that are Christ's at his coming. 1 Corinthians 20-23
Jesus did not fail at the
cross, Jesus is no longer on the cross, Jesus is no longer in the
grave, Jesus is coming in power and glory to raise all who are His. Scripture says the cross is not a failure but the power of God!
