2 Corinthians 13:4 KJV
For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
"...He was crucified through weakness..."
Christ took upon Himself the weakness of the human body and it was through this weakness that He was crucified for our sins. Had he not accepted that mortal weakness there could have been no Saviour. What a wondrous thing that he was so willing.
Now Paul makes the transition from Christ to himself as a minister of God and says that the weakness he has in Christ also makes him alive by the power of God "toward you." His ability to minister to others rested in the weakness he took on in Christ.
Thank God for some who still today are willing to become weak so that, not themselves, but the power of God might live in them toward others.
