Description

In this series of lectures on First Corinthians chapter 2, Dr. Adolph Saphir examines the meaning of Messiah on the cross. With simplicity and depth, he looks at both sides of different aspects of salvation:
1. The cross as it appears to God, and as it appears to man;
2. The current imperfection of the Body of Messiah, and its future perfection;
3. The counsel of God and the glory of the redeemed;
4. The blindness of man and the revelation of the Spirit.

Dr. Saphir’s teaching lifts the reader above confusion and doubts, for in every line of his writing, the cross stands fixed at the very center, without the false allure of clever words or vain philosophies. He holds faithfully to the verse that he quotes repeatedly: “I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” (1 Cor. 2:2)
