There is no one without a weakness at a point in time, except God! The unlikely and worst of all sinners like Paul and the condemned and hopeless individual like the thief on the cross were translated back to praiseworthy life, at opportune encounter with Christ! No matter your past weaknesses and setback, suffered from guilt, resistance and accusations of men and Satan, Christ will turn your night to day if you are willing and determined to be strong in the Lord.

The scripture is the yardstick of perfection for every believer in all ages. The above scripture reveals the bruised and wounded Christ who endured so much for sinners' sake! You can only be complete in Christ, when you learn to follow His footsteps. There are two contrasting events that are inevitable in life: Bitter and sweet, pains and pleasures, night and day, the cross and the crown as symbols of your suffering and eventual reigning in glory with Christ.

God desires for everyone in Christ is a gracious life that enhances, encourages and edifies others to know Christ, live godly and serve fervently to grow God's kingdom and promote people's welfare in every sphere of human relationship. God in the above text sees such possibilities in the life of an individual that is humble, loving and selflessly disposed as little children.

Redemption brings about the ransom and purchase of the lost and erring souls back to God. The blood of Jesus is the means of this divine exchange! It is free, but must be activated by personal faith for personal benefits according to Colossians 1:13,14.
