1 Corinthians 2:1-5 1

Paul came not with: 1 Corinthians 2:1 “Excellency of speech” – refers to holding “one’s self above … to be superior” (Bullinger, 266). Paul wanted to avoid this emphasis upon himself. “Wisdom” – refers to the methods and styles of speaking employed by orators in Paul’s day to bring honor to themselves. cf. 1 Corinthians 2:4 cf. Verse 5; cf. James 3:1, 13ff 2

What then, was Paul’s method of preaching? 1 Corinthians 2:2-3 “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.” 2 Corinthians 4:5 “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 1 Corinthians 1:23 “but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness” 3

Emphasizes the message more than the messenger.  Paul did not want to be the focal point. cf. 1 Corinthians 1:10ff; 3:1ff; Galatians 4:17  Follow Paul only as he followed the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:1  Paul’s opinion of himself. Ephesians 3:8  Preaching “Christ and Him crucified” doesn’t emphasize ME. 4

Emphasizes the horror of sin.  Christ died “for our sins” (1 Corinthians 15:3)  Sin separates: ◦ Man from God. Isaiah 59:1-2; 1 Peter 3:12 ◦ It separates us from God in eternity. Matthew 25:30, 41, 46  Sin is incompatible with God. 2 Corinthians 6:14ff  God is Righteous. Acts 17:31; Romans 2:2, 5  God is just to bring wrath against sinners. Romans 3:5-8; cf. 2 Corinthians 5:11  God has provided & revealed salvation for all sinners. 2 Peter 3:9  Loves & provides escape. Romans 5:6-11 5

Emphasizes what God has done. NOTE: Ephesians 2:1-22.  Man’s great need. Ephesians 2:1-3  God’s great mercy, grace, and love have opened the way for man to be saved. Ephesians 2:4-10.  In the death of Christ, men may be reconciled to God and to one another “in one body, by the cross” Ephesians 2:11-16  This “one body” (the church, Ephesians 1:22-23), was purchased by the blood of the cross (Acts 20:28).  We are a part of it “by faith” Ephesians 2:8, Active obedient faith (James 2:17; Acts 2:38) 6

Emphasizes what man must do. "What must I do to be saved?" is asked three times in the New Testament (Acts 2:37; 9:6; 16:30). ◦ Hear. John 6:44-45; Romans 10:17 ◦ Believe. Hebrews 11:6; John 8:24 ◦ Repent. Acts 17:30; I Corinthians 6:9-11 ◦ Confess. Romans 10:9-10 ◦ Baptism. Acts 2:38 7

Includes:  Preaching man’s need to be saved.  Preaching God’s mercy, grace, and love in providing for man’s need.  Preaching the cross of Jesus as the means of salvation.  Preaching the church, the body of Christ, as the reconciled people of God.  Preaching obedience to the gospel of Christ.  No wonder Paul gloried in “Christ and Him Crucified!” 8
