“For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by power of God. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him in our dealing with you.”
(2 Corinthians 13:4)
What it Mean?
Paul reminds the Corinthians that Jesus must have looked weak on the cross.
In fact, He allowed Himself to suffer and die.
Yet, His resurrection proved the power of God.
The Victory of Jesus over Death.
In the same way, we as Christians may feel weak when living our earthly days, facing trials, humility, and even persecution, but God’s power works through our weakness.
Human Lesson:
This verse teaches us that true strength for us doesn’t come from human ability, status, or control, but from God’s power at work in us.
When we feel tired, overlooked, or powerless, we can take courage that God’s Spirit strengthens us to live, serve, and endure.
Our weakness is not the end—it is the doorway to God’s strength.
Our Lesson:
Your weakness is not a failure, it’s the place where God’s power shines the most.
