1 Corinthians 1:17 NIV “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 its power.”

There are many eloquent preachers nowadays but their messages are powerless. Their sermons focus on themselves, and their command of words and language rather than on Christ. 

1 Corinthians 2:1-2 “And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”

Paul’s message was simple, “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” It’s this simple message of God that wins hearts and souls. 

1 Corinthians 1:21 “In the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its own wisdom. So God chose to use the message that sounds foolish to save those who believe.”

The beautiful, sweet, simple message of Jesus’ life, death, burial, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins is powerful!😊 Hence there’s no need to dress it up or add to it. There’s no need to use fancy words and eloquent speeches when sharing the gospel. The unadulterated, sweet, simple good news about Jesus Christ is all that is needed to lead people to God. Don’t add to it, and don’t detract from it by using high-sounding lectures and words. That my friend would be powerless.
