The Cross Means What?

It doesn't make any sense.  Isn't there a better way? How can that be the way?

1 Corithians 1:18 says that, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." KJV  The Lord knows all things.  Sees all things.  He loved us enough to not want us to remain in our sinful state forever.  He desires relationship with us.

The cross doesn't make sense to those who haven't put their trust in not only the crucifixion of Jesus but the resurrected Lord.  It seems foolish to the heart absent of God's Spirit, but for those of us who are saved, the cross represents the power to overcome the destruction of sin in our lives.

Which are we?  Does the cross represent foolishness or wisdom?
