Michael Beates: Grace in Weakness

“Our culture says, ‘Avoid the broken and the disabled.  Hide your weakness and blemishes.  Act as if they simply aren’t there.’  But the Scriptures give story after story and proposition after proposition saying instead, ‘Understand that you – all of you in some sense or another – are broken. Stop avoiding the truth and embrace it.’  

For in that embrace we begin to grasp the power of God through his grace made manifest in human weakness”
