What does the Bible say about preaching Christ crucified?

In 1 Corinthians 1:23, Paul articulates that the message of Christ crucified is a significant aspect of the Christian faith. He states that for those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. The preaching of the cross serves as a testament to God’s justice, love, and mercy, demonstrating how God can be both just and justify ungodly sinners through the death of His Son. This critical focus on Christ's sacrificial death emphasizes that the entirety of Scripture underscores His work of redemption.
