March 1: Romans 4:10 We are fools for the sake of Christ.

Paul writes here of his own lengthy experience preaching, teaching, and writing. From the very beginning, he has been careful not to try and be too clever, too wise, or sharp. He wants us to be saved by the simplicity of Christ crucified, not by a clever argument or witty style. He will gladly be thought of as a fool, if it means that someone has come to Christ and has not been impressed by a flashy witness or made to feel foolish himself.
