I found a note in one of The Kid's Bible's with 1 Corinthians 1:17-25 written on it. When I flipped to this scripture in his Bible I found it traced in pen. I felt compelled to share it in today's blog.
"For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel - not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of it's power. 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. For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength."
1 Corinthians 1:17-25
The Kid also had this written on the note: "The cross was for the wages of sin."
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
Written on the bottom of his Bible is: "The way, the Truth, and the Life."
"Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
John 14:6
