The weakness of God...

1 Corinthians 1:25 NIV
For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.

By worldly standards, God's plan for salvation is foolishness. By worldly standards, God the Father offering his one and only perfect Son to death on the cross is weakness. But sin and the fall keeps us from complete fellowship with God. God knew that complete fellowship could only be restored thru justice. Justice demands atonement for sin. There is nothing we can do or say to atone for our sin. Only thru a perfect sacrifice is atonement made. Jesus Christ is that perfect sacrifice. God's strength to sacrifice his own perfect Son has broken sin and has saved us. Poderoso!
