1 Corinthians 1:18, Preaching of the Cross
The Apostle Paul has personally experienced liberation from the bondage of sin when he received Jesus Christ at his Lord and Saviour. He was confronted by Jesus through a bright light from heaven on the road to Damascus for persecuting Christians. He was blinded for three days. He realised that the Jesus whom he was persecuting is the living and true God. He asked Jesus to forgive his sins. Jesus restored his sight. He was a changed man from that day onwards. He understood the power of the gospel, the preaching of the cross, indeed, saves!
