Understandably, many of us wrongly consider the sinful flesh as the weakness taught by Jesus and the apostles, but this is far from the truth. Our Lord Jesus taught, lived, and died in weakness according to scripture. He daily experienced insults and persecutions from mankind, and was crucified in weakness. This was the kingdom lifestyle He taught His followers; this is the cross He carried daily and spoke about in His statement "whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be my disciples". Often we limit our understanding of the cross of Jesus to His death, but the buddle of the cross encloses His daily lifestyle, which is riddled in rejection, hate, and insults. Similarly apostle Paul clearly declared that he is a fool for Jesus and rejoices in his sufferings, which he considered as weakness. To the world weakness is foolishness but to the children of God it is God's infallible power. Thus the weakness in this book is about our personal crosses as we celebrate the power of God in it.
