1 Corinthians 1:22-25

1 Corinthians 1:22-25 

  What do you consider strength?
  Is it physical strength?  I used to watch all the strong man competitions that played on ESPN late at night, with some guy named Magnus always in the top 2.  Those guys were seriously strong.
  Maybe it's leadership.  Look at some of the top executives or politicians over the past few years, and there are some very strong women and men in that group.  By financial or power metrics, they are strong.
  Could be emotional strength.  Do you have the strength to watch Old Yeller and not cry?  
  
  The fullness of God's strength is seen most perfectly in the self-sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, who came down to earth and died on a cross so that the people he loves can dwell with him forever.
  That's strength, even though the world mocked it.
  May we have the wisdom to be strong in the same way.
