Christ in the Weak and Wounded

We called this quarter “Christ in the Weak and Wounded,” recognizing that those we selected to exemplify “weakness” were not necessarily weak, but they were expected to be weak by the societies they inhabited. In biblical stories, we often see the younger taking precedence over the older, the seemingly insignificant playing a pivotal role, the weak triumphing over the strong, and the wounded being commended for their faith. As we contemplate these stories, may we also contemplate our own weaknesses, our own woundedness, and how Christ meets us there.
