PARADOXES OF CHRIST
PARADOXES OF CHRIST
Author Unknown
He was the light, yet He hung in darkness on the cross.
He was the Life, yet he poured out His soul unto death.
He was the Rock of Ages, yet his feet sank into the deep waters.
He was the Son of God, yet he died a felon’s death.
He knew no sin, yet he took our place and suffered in our stead.
He invited the weary to come to Him for rest, yet on earth He could find none for Himself.
He was the Mighty God, yet He became a servant.
He spoke, and it was done; yet He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death.
He was the Desire of All Nations, yet He was despised and rejected.
He was the Fountain of Life, yet upon the cross He cried, “I thirst.”
He experienced death, yet through his resurrection He brings us life full and eternal.
These are mysteries the world calls nonsense. But to those with eyes of faith, it is truth incarnate; God’s expression of His love for us.
“But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no man. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ!” (I Corinthians 3:14-16)
