Righteous in gods eyes

[NickHassan]

Hi,
If the strength of God shows up best in weak vessels how weak was Jesus?
Is 53

Nick……….All humans are weak compared to GOD we are counted as nothing when it comes to true Power. Jesus was exactly like we are with the same weakness and strengths we have. But none of that means GOD is WEAK. IMO

peace and love……………….gene

Gene,

Nick is not saying that God is weak.  

I believe he is trying to state that the spirit of God is strongest in those who are most humble even though it is unlimited in its strength.

It seems to be attempt to explain why Jesus stated “the spirit is weak but the flesh is strong”.

It also seems to go with the scripture that states that the sacrifice God desires is a broken spirit and a contrite heart.

I am not sure that Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit or the spirit of each man though I tend to believe it is the later.

Kerwin………..Jesus did not say the spirit is weak, But said “the Spirit is (WILLING) but the flesh is (WEAK)”.

Peace and love to you and yours………………….gene
