                              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
