Universal Power of the Cross

The outreach of the cross as measured by the profile of the Corinthian congregation confirms the message of the cross: salvation is God’s free gift, secured by the ignominious death of his own Son. This obvious death is God’s triumphant act, his most dazzling and powerful deed, the action by which he disgraces and trashes all human pretensions.

-D.A. Carson, The Cross and Christian Ministry, p.31
