▶️ Thank you for watching this video! Lesson 2: For July 11, 2026 THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS Saturday, July 4 READ FOR THIS WEEK'S STUDY: 1 Corinthians 1:17-31; Colossians 1:20; 1 Peter 2:24; Acts 13:16-47; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. MEMORY VERSE: “For 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” (1 Corinthians 1:18). Cicero, a pagan Roman writer and orator, had told the Roman people to keep the idea of ​​the cross as a method of execution far from their minds. Although Cicero died approximately half a century before Jesus was born, his statement illustrates the contempt the Romans felt for the cross. It was so detestable to them that they weren't even to think about it. In contrast, Paul would write: “The message of the cross is the power of God” (1 Cor. 1:18). For Paul, the cross is the instrument of reconciliation between God and humanity (Eph. 2:16; Col. 1:20), the supreme symbol of Jesus’ humility (Phil. 2:8), and the place where our immense debt was paid (Col. 2:14). The cross is Paul’s answer to the problems in Corinth. You don’t have to read far in 1 Corinthians to realize that he is deeply concerned about the important issue of divisions in the church. Paul is so perplexed that, right after the greetings (1 Cor. 1:1-3) and the thanksgiving section (1 Cor. 1:4-9), this is the first issue he addresses (1 Cor. 1:10-17). This week we will focus on the powerful message of the cross as the answer to this problem and other issues in Corinth. #danielherrerajerez #biblelessons #sabbathschool2026 #danielherrerajerez God bless you, brothers and sisters of the Bible Lessons community.
