Strength

“He was crucified through weakness."25 Apparently Jesus was weak and all the world strong, for He offered no resistance when they came to take Him or when they crucified Him. Weakness characterized the outward spectacle of the cross and the Man who hung on it. But, as the type of the "ram caught in a thicket by his horns,"26 we know that it was the very strength of His love for you and me, as well as for the ones who were crucifying Him, that held Him to the cross.
Now, as we anticipate that chorus of praise to the Lamb of God, we rejoice that the song also includes, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive... strength." The Victor over Satan, the One who conquered death, the One who purged our sins through the sacrifice of Himself—He shall be exalted and shown before all the world to be the One in the position of strength. As He said to the Apostle Paul, "My strength is made perfect in weakness."27 What a Savior!
Worthy of homage and of praise;
Worthy by all to be adored:
Exhaustless theme of heavenly lays!
Thou, Thou art worthy, Jesus, Lord. 28
