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.
2 Corinthians 12:10
Madness? Masochism? This statement by the apostle Paul seems absurd in a world where, to achieve fulfillment, it is better to be on the side of the strongest. Woe to those who cannot keep up with the pace of competition in our world where boundaries are increasingly fading, and who find themselves left by the wayside.
And yet, "as we read the Bible, we realize that our strength is not found in our human performance, but in our dependence on God," the author tells us.
Explore this extraordinary wisdom as you journey with him through Paul's letter to the church in Corinth and discover what it truly means to "succeed in life"!
