                              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

            The weak overcomes the strong
                                      a
            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
