Now onto my second verse for the month.
"When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demostration of the Spirit's power." - 1 Corinthians 2:1-4
I have been reading through the book of 1 Corinthians lately but have been stuck on this section of chapter 2 for some time now. I want to know nothing but Jesus Christ and him crucified but how do I live that out in my every day life? So many times, I try to use fancy words in order to explain the gospel or just don't speak out at all. My message will only be effective when I rely on the Spirit's power. People will not ever choose to live for Jesus because of what I tell them. They will follow Jesus because of the Holy Spirit working within them. Pretty good news in my book!
