Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth. Some people there thought being smart and fancy was the most important thing.
Paul said, “Some people think the message about Jesus dying on a cross sounds silly. But it's God's power!”
God often chooses people who seem small or weak to do His work. That way everyone knows it's God's power, not ours!
