Grace - (47)
Christianity's Distinguishing Force

2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Good news!  If you fully understand this passage of Scripture, it will set you free!  I know that is a sweeping statement, and I am prone to those.

But in this case, I am bragging about JESUS and HIS Power and HIS Glory in us.  HE says (like I have been saying for many weeks) in no uncertain terms, that HIS Grace is enough!  It is sufficient.

Grace helps in everything, but  more than all else, GOD'S Power is made Perfect (complete) in our weakness.  No wonder GOD and humans get along.  HE has all the power and we have all the weakness.

So, Paul got it.  Rather than going around the countryside bragging about himself and his accomplishments, he walked humbly and let his weakness show.  By doing so, he was able to excel in the Godly Gifting he was given rather than his own abilities.

And look at all he did:  Planted churches, worked miracles, wrote two-thirds of the New Testament . . . . .

Practical application:  We don't have to mope around today in our weaknesses.  But, we do not need to fear them either.  Do well in what we do knowing that the weaker we are, the more opportunity we give to JESUS to live through us, because our weaknesses are HIS Strength!

JESUS The Author of Grace!
