When You Can't Do Anything



Thought  for  the day: 2 Corinthians 12:10 When I am weak, then I am Strong.
Ministers were discussing racial prejudice  and what could be done about it, when one arose and commented: "Brothers, the real question before us today is: What can you do when you can't do anything?"
Most of us have felt the sting of that question. What can a father do when his son goes wrong? What can a mother do when a rebellious daughter refuses her counsel? What can one do when faced with an incurable disease?
Jesus was in a situation like that. His enemies thought they had him nailed hand and foot. "Now," they said, "he can't do anything. We have stopped him." But notice how Jesus' response to a hopeless situation worked out.
He took care of his mother.
He gave a repentant thief a promise of paradise.
By suffering without bitterness he convinced a centurion, " Surely this man was a Son of God."
He prayed for the forgiveness of his enemies.
He conquered sin and death.
He demonstrated how love endures hatred without hating in return.
Jesus did all this and more when it seemed he could not do anything.
