Читать книгу Let The Weak Say: - Job Mothiba - Страница 9

The Gospel writers often use the word “weakness” to describe many illnesses Jesus healed. If there were one broad explanation for weakness, it would be to lack. Weakness means we don’t have what it takes as humans. It means we are neither sovereign nor omniscient, nor invincible. We are not in control, we don’t know everything, and we can be stopped. We are limited and inadequate.

“There is one weakness in people for which there is no remedy

It is the universal weakness of lack of ambition”

– Napoleon Hill

But, with me one of my ambitions in life is to be a great teacher of the word, sharing my knowledge and experiences of Christ to the world. However, in my walk with God there are some moments when I do feel weak, when I do feel inadequate and in need of strength. “Have compassion on me, LORD, for I am weak…” (Psalm 6:2)

Becoming weak or vulnerable is something we can experience daily and some days it may even feel worse. This shows how much we need God in our weaknesses. “But the Lord can be trusted to make you strong and protect you from harm” (2 Thessalonians 3:3)

*Jesus Christ himself was considered weak by the Romans, because he went to the cross “like a lamb to the slaughter.” Likewise, as Christians we can be considered weak, because of God’s humility working in us, in fact we are also considered as sheep to be slaughtered (Romans 8:36)
