Elder Darcy MacCallum unpacks 1 Corinthians 2 to show that the cross is not just how we are forgiven, but the very shape of the Christian life—meant to confront our ideas of power, success, politics, justice, and spirituality. He warns that, like the Corinthians, we often want resurrection without the cross and may have domesticated the cross into a safe ornament instead of a defining reality, pressing us to ask whether the crucified Christ is truly determining the form of our existence.
