Our Suffering Savior

This passage shows us why Jesus' humanity was important. He took on our weakness and therefore our suffering, so that he could transform it. Because he did that, we can take on his strength. When we become aware of the gap between our love and his love, or our perseverance and his, rather than despair, we can call him into the gap and depend on his strength.

Human Justice vs God's Justice

There are competing for justice - one that takes our propensity for idolatry seriously and one that underesimates the condition of the human heart. Often our attempts at justice simply create more injustice. What are we to do? If we are going to pursue justice we must start with Jesus.
