Variety:1 Corinthians 1v18-25

Heavenly father, give us grace today to walk with Jesus the way of the cross. 

¹⁸ For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 
²² For Jews ask for signs, Greeks seek after wisdom, 
²³ but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews, and foolishness to Greeks, 
²⁴ but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God; 
²⁵ because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
