For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 1:18 Go To 1 Corinthians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The power of the cross is not recognized by those who are perishing, because they are out of their minds and act like madmen, complaining and rejecting the medicines which bring salvation.
