For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]For it is written:“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate (warning to you).”[SUP][c]*******[/SUP]
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? [SUP]21 [/SUP]For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. [SUP]22 [/SUP]Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, [SUP]23 [/SUP]but we preach Christ crucified (i.e. the Cross): a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, [SUP]24 [/SUP]but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. [SUP]25 [/SUP]For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength (1 Corinthians 1:18-25 NIV).
For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified (i.e. the Cross) (1 Corinthians 2:2).

Is redemption centered up in the Cross of Christ or the Resurrection of Christ?
Answer:
Redemption is centered up totally in the Cross of Christ. While everything else after the Cross, the Resurrection, Ascension, and Exaltation of Christ, played a tremendous part, and continues to play a tremendous part, the truth is, all of this is made possible, the Resurrection, Ascension and Exaltation of Christ, because of the Cross.
Victory = The Cross of Christ, i.e., The Blood of Jesus, i.e., The Finished Work
