❇️Sabbath School Lesson 2 Q3 2026: The Message of the Cross | First and Second Corinthians

In 1 Corinthians 1:17–31, Paul points the divided church in Corinth back to one center: Christ crucified. Why did the cross sound like foolishness to some, yet become the power of God to those who are being saved? In this Sabbath School reflection, we take a careful look at Paul’s words, the tension between human wisdom and divine wisdom, and what the message of the cross still confronts in our lives today. This study explores how the cross answers pride, division, self-reliance, and the temptation to build faith around human strength. It also asks a deeply personal question: when we look at the cross, do we see weakness, or do we see the power of God?
