Summary
Paul's letter to Corinth teaches that Christians should boast in their weaknesses rather than hide them, because God's power is made perfect in weakness. True strength comes through dependence on God, not self-sufficiency, and believers are called to go public with their private dependence as an act of worship and witness.
Highlights
Weakness is the gap between what we possess and what is required as we pursue faithfulness. God loves to supply the difference.
The gospel transforms weaknesses from threats to opportunities. We don't have to be threatened by weakness—it's God's opportunity.
Boasting our weakness is going public with our private dependence on God. We don't have to portray strength because Christ was the one.
