Paul was an extraordinary man,
called to an extraordinary office, and
being sent to perform an extraordinary work, he chose an extraordinary subject.
He knew history,
he was acquainted with philosophy, and
he was well versed in tradition.
There were few subjects that he could not handle,
few themes that he could not discuss,
few congregations that he could not interest.
But he made the conversion of sinners the object of his life and he chose Christ crucified to be the subject of his ministry!
No matter where he went, he took his subject with him.
No matter whom he addressed he directed their attention to this point.
He knew what man require and what man preferred; but it made no matter to him.
Paul's subject then, was Christ Crucified!
[James Smith]
1 Corinthians 1:22-24 ... For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
