Apr 5, 2024 · Paul said he would “preach Christ crucified” even though his message was “a stumbling block to Jews” (1 Corinthians 1:23, ESV). The Jews were expecting a mighty king figure who would overthrow Rome and establish His kingdom on earth. Instead, they encountered in Jesus a lowly servant who would suffer and die.
Jan 20, 2018 · This vision was blocked from non-Spiritually looking Jews by the fact of the crucifixion and death and, hence, failure of earthly political success of Jesus, who said that He was their Messiah; and that is one of the meanings of the Pauline expression that "Jesus as crucified is a stumbling block for Jews": for through beholding non-Spiritually ...

In the opening chapters of 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul wrote about the difficulty in understanding the concept of a crucified Christ, both for Jews and for gentiles. He wrote that he and his companions in ministry preached “Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness” (1 Corinthians 1:23). Many first-century Je...
Roman crucifixion was an extremely painful way to die. In addition, the Jews considered the victim accursed by God. This reasoning was based on an Old Testament law that says: “He who is hanged is accursed of God” (Deuteronomy 21:23). The law specifically prohibited Israelites from allowing an executed criminal to remain hanging on a tree overnight...
The other nations of the world had no preconceptions regarding a Messiah, which is a biblical concept. They did, however, have preconceptions that prevented many of them from embracing the crucified Christ as their Savior. Prior to the first century, Greek culture had permeated much of the Mediterranean world as a result of the conquests of Alexand...
In the first century there were two major schools of philosophy, Epicureanism and Stoicism. Paul encountered philosophers from both schools when he visited the Areopagus in Athens (Acts 17:18). When Paul spoke to these Stoics and Epicureans, they listened for awhile, “but as soon as he spoke of a personal judgment by Jesus Christ and the resurrecti...
Many first-century Jews and Greeks rejected the doctrine of Christ crucified, but some—those God had called—rejoiced in this knowledge. To those individuals, and to us today, this doctrine points to the power, love and wisdom of God. It is through the death and resurrection of Jesus that God demonstrates His power over sin and death. It was through...
The false beliefs of the Jews and Greeks of the first century prevented them from understanding the power and wisdom of “Christ crucified.” And all of us today carry around preconceived ideas, some of which can interfere with our Christian walk. Peter and the other disciples certainly struggled with the idea that their Lord and Master would be cruc...
The word, the preaching of Christ crucified, was to the Jews a stumbling-block (1 Corinthians 1:23). But not all stumbled that they might fall. But not all stumbled that they might fall. Nevertheless, perseverance in disobedience must end in everlasting death.
