What new and flashy message does Paul bring to persuade Jews and Greeks, male and female? There is no new message but instead a very old and powerful prophecy of the One who was to come; the Christ; the Savior of the world.  

It was and is the message of hope and Truth that still brings salvation today.  It wasn’t a popular feel good message, but one that urges us to surrender all that we have; trusting Him over ourselves.
