In this 9/13/2020 message, Michael Gowens considers the experience Paul relates in 2 Corinthians 12 and the paradox that Christ's strength is manifest in our weakness. Gowens traces the "weakness" motif through the two Corinthian epistles, showing that Paul not only acknowledged and embraced his personal inadequacy and weakness, but celebrated it, for in his weakness, Christ was strong. In a culture that values beauty, success and perfection, how refreshing is the reminder that weakness is not only okay but preferable!
