At the Cross

Wow! What a chapter! At the Cross the battle is won!  Such a weak looking moment turns out to be the most powerful moment in Cosmic history!  Through death - death dies!  I am reminded of the Apostle Paul's words of encouragement in II Cor. 12:9-10 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”   Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  That is why for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.

To often I can become preoccupied with the lie that strength is found in strength.  The Apostle Paul reminds us that Christ's true strength (power) is made perfect in embracing weakness!
