Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 1Cor. 1:27 The weakness of the CROSS is hard to understand. To see the power of GOD in the Death of Christ is hard for us. What we see is the weakness of Christ. All the pictures we see of Jesus shows His LOVE. To most of us love represents weakness, we say I'm weak for you as an expression of love.. Jesus is always portrayed as a lowly Shepperd, bleeding on His knees and nailed to the CROSS. People see Preachers and Teachers the same as they saw Jesus weak someone to be disrespected. Jesus at his weakest state on the CROSS was more powerful then anything in creation. "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, Jesus also himself likewise took part of the same; ((( that through death Jesus might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"))) Heb. 2:14  Paul wrote   "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." When God's preachers or teachers are weak THEY ARE STRONG...  "Then said (PREACHER) Samuel Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel HEWED Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.  1Sam. 15:32-33  And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and SLEW them there. 1Kings 18;40
