The Lord of the universe became a lowly embryo, coming into the world in the form of you and me. The world despises weakness, yet Jesus, the creator of the world, came to be Lord of the lowly. Baptism seems like nothing to this world, yet God's strength is made perfect in what seems to be weakness. God uses Baptism as His means of grace to wash away our sin so that when God sees you, He sees none of your inadequacies. They are all blotted out by the blood of Christ. And, when God commands us to love our enemies, those who hate Christ, and not judge them, the world scoffs at this apparent weakness and foolishness. Yet the weakness of God is stronger than the power of sin. In this command to love and not judge another, Jesus gives us another way to break the power of sin -- the weakness of love and the foolishness of forgiveness. The day is coming when you will see that His weakness is stronger than any strength. On that day, you will know that His foolishness was wiser than all the wisdom in the world, when you, with nothing but your baptism, are gathered around His throne with other forgiven sinners.
