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!
