In my life vulnerability has always been a dirty word. It meant to expose weakness; it meant to put power in the hands of those who I knew would use it to hurt me. It meant to put my trust in another which I have never done, have never found safe. But in the hands of the Almighty, vulnerability is perfection and beauty, its power and life. Vulnerability in the hands of the Creator and Sustainer of life always returns reward, it never returns empty and broken. Isaiah 55:11 says “My [God’s] word that goes out from my mouth; It will not return empty, but will accomplish what I [God] desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” And so when God says to Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that “My [God’s] grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness,” He means it. Paul’s vulnerability allows God to perfectly work out His powerful plan.

This week’s post comes out of response to my class reading. We were reading a section on the mediatorial office of Christ in a book by William Shedd. In reading this reading I found inspiration for my own walk with Christ and my struggle with submission. Hope you enjoy!

The mediator between God and man cannot be God alone for by definition a mediator is one who can empathize with both parties and bring about a common good. He must be capable of intervening between the two parties and as God alone, Christ would not have been able to intervene for the opposing side, having only relation to the one side, the divine side. Thus the dual natures of Christ are a necessity for the position of intercessor or mediator.

This article will focus on How to Handle Hurt and Betrayal in a Positive Way.  God brought this topic upon my heart after realizing that the Body of Christ is hurting, and one of the main reasons why they are hurting is because of each other.  Instead of encouraging one another, we are breaking each other down with words, and betraying one another.  I believe this is an apologetical topic because it teaches us how to treat hurt in a Biblical way instead of the worldly way.  The world teaches us to get even when people hurt and persecute us.  This is not Biblical.  God is actually the one who takes care of the wrongs that happen to us as we correct them in love and not in revenge.  I want to assure everyone that I know as well as God knows that all of us have experienced hurt and betrayal by someone who was very dear to our hearts.  We never expected this hurt to happen.  I understand.  There really is a better way to handle the hurt, and I look forward to sharing with you some wisdom that I have learned through the Word of God.
