Strength in Weakness
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
When you think of the kingdom of Christ, remember… It’s an upside down Kingdom. Like, the God of life conquers death by embracing it. He destroys the power of sin by letting ‘it’ destroy Him. He carries a cross, and it becomes a crown. God doesn’t explain suffering with a bunch of words… He ‘is’ the Word made flesh… gouged… spit upon and scorned. As Dr. Peter Kreeft says, “When it comes to suffering, God doesn’t try to get Himself ‘off’ the hook: Jesus is God ‘on’ the hook. And the same is true for you. Your weakness is ‘not’ a weakness. It is the very thing (that when you give it to God), becomes your strength. And the weaker you are? The more of Christ’s power can be displayed through you.
