What does the Bible say about preaching the cross?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible emphasizes that preaching should focus solely on Jesus Christ and Him crucified, as stated in 1 Corinthians 2:2.

In 1 Corinthians 2:2, Paul declares his intention to know nothing among the Corinthians except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. This underscores the fundamental aspect of preaching, which is to focus on the gospel message rather than eloquent speech or worldly wisdom. Paul admonishes that true preaching is not sharing opinions or debating philosophies but declaring the testimony of God. The preaching of the cross is described in 1 Corinthians 1:18, where Paul states that the message of the cross appears as foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved, it is the power of God. Thus, preaching Christ crucified remains the central calling for all who declare the gospel.
