Chapter 78
Strength in Weakness
a
Nothing in the world is weaker and softer than water
Yet, nothing is more powerful at breaking up the strong and hard
There is no substitute
a
The weak overcomes the strong
The soft overcomes the hard
Everyone knows this but they have no desire to practice it
Therefore, the wise man says:
b
The Son became sin for us
Thus, He is fit to be Master
The Son bore the woes of the world
c
Thus, He is fit to be King of the World
d
The truth often sounds paradoxical
