核心要点
The Scandalous Power of the Cross
In our sanitized modern world, we've forgotten what the cross truly represents. This symbol, now elegantly adorning church steeples and delicate jewelry, was once the Roman Empire's most horrific instrument of public torture. Imagine declaring an electric chair or gallows as your faith's central symbol - that's the shocking reality of early Christianity. This scandalous image forms the foundation of D.A. Carson's transformative work on Christian ministry. The cross establishes the only division that ultimately matters: those being saved and those perishing. The cross confronts our cultural obsessions with eloquence and wisdom. In ancient Corinth, as today, people celebrated rhetorical sophistication and philosophical discourse. Yet Paul deliberately chose to proclaim the cross in stark, unadorned terms. No worldly philosophy - whether ancient Stoicism or modern scientific materialism - has ever discerned God's redemptive plan through crucifixion. Those rejecting the cross fall into two persistent idolatries: demanding miraculous signs (setting conditions for God) or seeking wisdom (creating intellectual systems maintaining the illusion of control). Both approaches share a profound self-centeredness, treating God as if we have the right to approve Him on our terms.
