Journey to the Cross: “Thrust Into Vulnerability”
March 3, 2024 / Bob SwickardThe scene at the cross is one of for Jesus
All of us, at one time or another will be thrust into
The word vulnerable means the ability to be easily , influenced, or attacked.
When faced with being Vulnerable, WE MUST RELY on:
The of God
“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And, being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV)
The of God
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)
The of God
But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NIV)
The of God
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. 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 12:9-10 (NIV)
