| CHRISTIANS ARE NOT COWARDS OR FOOLS |

NEVER CONFUSE HUMILITY with weakness and fear
or
GRACIOUSNESS with lack of wisdom and knowledge
18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went backward, and fell to the ground.
1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
17:13Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
IT WASN'T THE NAILS THAT HELD JESUS ON THE CROSS
IT WAS HIS LOVE FOR US !
It took power to go through that...
It was His vision of vast multitudes of souls He was bringing to Heaven that made it happen.
2:10 For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 53:12 Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
THAT'S THE LOVE OF GOD !
Christians are not immune to adversities, but what makes us different is we trust God to bring us through them.
3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
