The cross is the logo and trademark of the Christian faith. Contrary to conceptions that it is too morbid or shameful of a symbol, Paul speaks in this passage about boasting in the cross. It is not Christ's example or teaching that Paul boasts in, but the cross, which is the central thing in the Gospels. It is also the central feature in Paul's letters, the New Testament, and the Church. The cross is an unexpected and undesirable means of liberation and salvation, and it offends every religion and people group. The cross has power to transform us; if we make it central to our lives, it will never fail us like other things in which we find our identity.
