AI-Generated Summary

In this Tuesday of Holy Week 2026 episode of *Scripture & Prophecy*, host Sean delivers a powerful reflection on the paradox of the cross, drawing from Psalm 71, 1 Corinthians 1:18–30, and John 12:37–50. He emphasizes that while the message of Christ’s crucifixion appears foolish to the world—especially to those entrenched in human wisdom and secular ideologies—it is, in fact, the very power of God for those being saved. Sean contrasts the world’s false wisdom, such as evolutionary theory, with the divine wisdom revealed in Christ’s sacrifice, calling it the ultimate act of divine irony. He highlights how God chooses the weak, lowly, and despised to shame the strong and wise, affirming that true boasting comes only in the Lord. The episode closes with a sobering reminder from Jesus: belief in Him is belief in the Father, and rejection of His words carries eternal consequences, as His words will judge us on the last day. Sean urges listeners to rely on God in this age of global deception and to remain faithful, even when it costs them social or religious approval.

And the truth is, is a lot of times God does some of his greatest work through people in their later years.
