Darryl Dash shares on the Christian theme of weakness .Here is a portion
Jesus consistently taught about laying aside our rights, becoming weak like children, and rejoicing when we were under-appreciated. He identified with those who were outcasts and powerless. He taught that the tiniest of seeds becomes the haven of birds. His entire ministry was predicated upon God’s strength showing up in weakness.
Yet I find myself consistently impressed with the strong. I do not naturally like the way of weakness.I praise God for large and strong churches, but I worry that we often think that God needs powerful churches and important people to do his work.
Scripture shows us that some of the most powerful and influential people in redemption’s history squandered their influence, while God has used humble nobodies to change the world.
Iit’s important to remind ourselves of the strength of weakness. Perhaps God is most at work today in people and churches that will never be written up in books, and will never make the conference circuit. God’s strength still shows up most powerfully in weakness.
